ETM CEO, Dr. Janice Weinman, has been named as a 2023 PoliticsNY & amNY Metro Power Player in Education.

We are honored to be included and highlight the need for equitable access to high-quality music education throughout New York City.

The All Hallows High School Modern Band from partner school All Hallows High School, led by its music director and ETM Teacher of the Year Alfredo Hernandez, performed the national anthem before the New York Yankees faced off against the Seattle Marines on Tuesday, June 20, 2023. All Hallows is located on East 164th Street in the Bronx just three blocks away from Yankee Stadium.

Alfredo Hernandez, a native Hispanic from Brooklyn, has been awarded the 2023 Music Teacher of the Year award by Education Through Music (ETM). Mr. Hernandez joined the school in 2021 and quickly built a comprehensive music program impacting all students. Mr. Hernandez serves as Professor of Music Technology at All Hallows and as Director of the All Hallows Modern Band. Through the music programs he has created, Mr. Hernandez has taught students who had never played an instrument; and he has inspired them to discover their musical talents.

Mayor Eric Adams has asked the city’s Department of Education to reduce its spending by 3%. Those reductions would cut into the city’s arts and music programs, among other things. The chair of the City Council’s Committee on Education, Brooklyn Councilmember Rita Joseph, and the CEO of the Education Through Music program, Janice Weinman, joined Rocco Vertuccio and Shannan Ferry Sunday morning on NY1 to talk more about this.

As New York City Mayor Eric Adams calls for fiscal discipline, art and music classes should be preserved, especially for underserved students, says ETM CEO Janice Weinman, NYC Council Member Rita Joseph, and NY Council Member Chi Ossé in their latest op-ed.
