MUSIC TECHNOLOGY LABS
Education Through Music’s partner school
technology labs feature state-of-the art musicmaking
equipment, allowing students at a number
of ETM partner middle schools to learn, explore and
create music. The Music Technology Labs house
computers, electric guitars, and MIDI keyboards
for a 30-student class, and give students hands-on
opportunities to create their own compositions
while learning basic music skills.
ENSEMBLES: BAND,
ORCHESTRA & CHORUS
ETM’s primary goal is to build a solid foundation of
general music instruction at all of its partner schools.
Many schools choose to build on the core instruction
by implementing chorus or elective instrumental
programs, such as orchestra and band, in accordance
with each principal’s vision for the school. Ensembles
provide students with the opportunity to learn an
instrument and play together, developing their
musical and instrumental skills and improving other
skills such as listening, cooperation and persistence.
At schools with ensemble programs, students can
choose and rent an instrument, with ETM providing
financial aid so that all interested students can
participate.
