Review for Education Through Music, Inc., New York, NY, USA
Education Through Music has made a great impact on the lives and development of my students. They look forward to their weekly music class as a space and time where they can create, explore, build confidence, and develop a sense of community.
The organization has a strong student-centered philosophy that asserts all children benefit from a well-rounded education that includes the arts. Through sequenced curriculum, well-stocked classrooms (instruments, teaching aids, libraries, etc.), and high-quality concert productions, Education Through Music equips students in some of the least advantaged neighborhoods in the city with skills and experiences that will serve them throughout their lives.

I have implemented countless teaching strategies and lesson ideas from these sessions. I am a more confident and effective educator thanks to my experience with Education Through Music!
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
With programs in over two dozen schools across the city, the program staff members stretch themselves thin providing support to all their teachers and clients. Resources for additional personnel would help strengthen existing programs and allow for the organization's expansion as well.
