We form long-term partnerships with low-income area elementary and middle schools which lack the resources for school-wide music programs. ETM-LA provides music instruction on a weekly basis (30-32 weeks) as a core subject in its own right and as a means of supporting learning in other areas. Schools interested in a partnership should be able to:

  • Demonstrate that the school leadership, staff, and parents are committed to a school-wide music program
  • Show a multi-year commitment and vision towards building sustainability of their music program
  • Be designated a Title 1 School (ETM-LA’s partners typically have on average 85% or more of the population on Free or Reduced price lunch)
  • Identify a designated music space
  • Draft a schedule which incorporates weekly music instruction as part of the school day for every student, including those with special needs
  • Commit to contributing a portion of the cost of the program (ETM-LA heavily subsidizes the music program, typically beginning at 50% year 1)
