Music Instruments & Supplies for NYC Kids

Education Through Music is excited to announce that this year we provided comprehensive and sequential music education as a core subject to over 20,000 children weekly, regardless of zip code, economic circumstances, religion, or race. Our program provided ongoing training and professional development for music and classroom teachers, as well as guidance to our partner school principals.

This school year ETM was able to increase from 52 partner schools to 63 and continues to expand and bring back partner schools that were forced to cut arts programs during the pandemic. ETM’s footprint broadened and now extends further into Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island, adding 13 new schools this year located in these boroughs. In total, over two dozen new schools were added to our roster, including P.S. 958, an inclusive school in Sunset Park that serves 70 special needs students. This month our children sang proudly in public performances at the Apollo, One World Trade Center, and to their communities in the dozens of winter concerts planned across all NYC boroughs.

In 2023, we plan to take our programs even further, expanding to new schools across the five boroughs of NYC, creating new ensembles, hiring and training new music teachers, and doubling down on support for our current teaching staff.
