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