Highlight on Teachers

Attracting and retaining the very best teachers is core to our mission of providing high-quality music education to all children. We develop our teachers’ talents through programs and resources that deepen their knowledge and enhance their skills. In Spring 2024, we launched our Workforce Development Program, an innovative new initiative that addresses the teacher shortage in New York City public schools by offering an alternative pathway for aspiring teachers. Through an experiential apprenticeship model, participants are equipped with the necessary pedagogical knowledge and classroom experience to thrive as educators in some of the city’s most underserved schools. We’re excited to share the results of the inaugural program, as well as highlight the first three interns to complete it and become fully participating teachers in the school system.
