At Education Through Music (ETM), we believe every child deserves access to high-quality music education—regardless of their background or zip code. We know that teachers are always looking for effective, engaging ways to spark creativity and curiosity in their students. With over 94% of educators using YouTube as a teaching tool, we’re committed to providing classroom-ready content that’s both educational and inspiring.

That’s why we’re proud to collaborate with TED-Ed and YouTube to create “Think Like a Musician”, a new music education video series designed to bring high-quality music education resources to teachers around the world. “Think Like A Musician” connects you with working musicians who want to help the music-curious and music-passionate hone and share the gift of music with the world. Part interview, part animated course, the first season features artists sharing their insight on the ins and outs of fine-tuning your instrument and crafting a great performance.

Videos also include comprehensive resources, including lesson plans, rubrics, and presentation slides created by Education Through Music, enabling easy integration into classrooms. Every video also includes an interactive experience to encourage hands-on student engagement. These free, accessible resources help bring the power of music into more classrooms, supporting student development in creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration.
