All children deserve quality music education

25 YEARS: EMPOWERING CHILDREN TO
SUCCEED IN SCHOOL AND IN LIFE
25 HIGHLIGHTS OF AN EDUCATION JOURNEY
It was a simple idea that inspired Edmund Schroeder and Eldon Mayer
to start Education Through Music in 1991— integrate music education
into the overall curriculum of New York’s inner-city schools. That vision
has been our priority for the last 25 years.
As we mark the 25th anniversary of Education Through Music and
our founders’ vision, we have chosen 25 highlights that reflect ETM’s
journey. On the following pages, you will read about the schools,
students, teachers, supporters, accolades and accomplishments
that are central to this organization and what drives us to empower
disadvantaged children academically and toward future success in life.
This year, as we continue to serve more students and grow our
organization, we thank you for your support and we look forward with
enthusiasm to what lies ahead for Education Through Music in the
cause of providing quality music education to all children.
