• Education Through Music (New York and Los Angeles)

Education Through Music was founded to promote the integration of music into the curricula of disadvantaged schools in order to enhance students' academic performance and general development. ETM believes that every child deserves a well-rounded education: one that includes music. Unfortunately, many schools, especially those serving children in low-income communities, provide no music instruction or rely solely on short-term programs that do not serve every student. ETM created a comprehensive program that incorporates music into the education of every child, including those with special needs.

ETM forms long-term partnerships with inner-city elementary schools that lack the resources to develop school-wide music programs. To ensure high-quality instruction, ETM hires qualified teaching artists and provides regular training to support their effectiveness in engaging children in the classroom. The program encourages academic teachers and teaching artists to collaborate so that music can reinforce learning and development in all areas. And ETM helps schools embrace music as a core subject by involving all members of the school community in music instruction.

As of September 2007, ETM is serving more than 8,000 at-risk children in 17 schools in New York City.

in the Conceptual Age must understand the connections between diverse, and seemingly separate, disciplines. They must know how to link apparently unconnected elements to create something new.
