When children go to the music room, they transform right before your eyes into totally different people. It’s incredible!—Partner School Music Teacher
MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP The 2020-2021 school year was unlike any other, to say the least. While some of our students were back in physical classrooms for much of the year, nothing seemed normal. And even the “new normal” was a moving target. The students in our partner schools had to contend with so many barriers: wearing a mask all day long, staying distanced from their friends, and constant worrying about whether their school would become a hotspot. Our intrepid teachers had similar concerns: would their school be closed due to an unexpected outbreak? How best could they engage virtual students? How could they provide their students with the creative outlet they so desperately needed--and deserved? But the truth is, I’ve never been more proud of my colleagues at ETM than I am this year. Despite the extraordinary circumstances, our teachers did connect with their students, our students did make music together, and ETM was able to provide access to music education to more students than ever before by going beyond the classroom and sharing lessons through virtual and digital channels that provided access to students across the city. I’m not trying to downplay the challenges; converting our in-person model to fit a virtual reality was an incredible all-hands-on-deck effort for us at ETM. But as I reflect on the last school year, I can’t help but admire the tenacity of our staff, the innovation and patience of our teachers, and the resilience of our students. And I’ve come to realize: having a team of committed educators and a community of open-minded learners isn’t the “new normal.” It’s the New York spirit, each and every year. I’m proud to share this year’s annual report, and celebrate our successes with you. Thank you for being a part of our story. Sincerely,
Richard Bernstein ETM Board Chair

MISSION Education Through Music (ETM) partners with under-resourced schools to provide music as a core subject for all children, and utilizes music education as a catalyst to improve overall achievement, motivation for school, and self-confidence.
VISION Education Through Music believes that every child deserves access to high-quality music education, taught by qualified and well-trained music teachers. Music should support learning in other key areas, including math, science and language arts. Engaged parents and school communities are key to the success of students.

IN OUR MUSIC CLASSES In the 2020-2021 school year, Education Through Music navigated the ever-changing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on schools, teachers, and students. Some students and teachers remained remote for much of the school year, while others were learning in person. No matter what, our teachers remained flexible, compassionate, and committed, providing high quality music education to 18,000 students through partnerships with 53 under-resourced schools in all five boroughs of New York City.

CELEBRATING SCHOOL YEAR 2020-2021 Live Performances After a year of living and learning during a pandemic, some of our ETM Partner Schools were able to safely host live performances this past spring (2021). We know that singing together in live performance supports our students’ social-emotional well-being as they come together as one ensemble to demonstrate the skills and concepts learned in the classroom. But managing live performances during COVID-19 is a testament to the commitment ETM and our ETM teachers have to our partner schools and students. And it illustrates our perseverance and problem-solving skills in the face of daunting challenges. Our ability to support live performances this spring also confirms the strong and collaborative relationships we have with school leaders at our Partner Schools, with whom we work to keep students safe, even during a pandemic.

While this year was unlike any other and difficult for everyone, the classroom teachers and I were able to create such a wonderful musical environment that allowed students to express themselves and their emotions — Ashley D’Amico, ETM teacher

Launching Orchestra at M.S. 118 Singing is a very powerful thing. This past spring, despite the impact It’s very beautiful and I love . . . of COVID-19, ETM was able to expressing myself.” launch a brand new orchestra — ETM Partner School Student program at Partner School M.S. 118 in the Bronx. Starting an orchestra program at this school had been a goal for some time, and ETM didn’t want the pandemic to continue to delay implementing this program for the school’s students. So, through deliberate planning, ETM was able to safely launch the program, including instrument distribution and in-person and remote rehearsals.
‘‘
What’s more, the orchestra enriched the other music programs at the school. 6th graders at M.S. 118 already participated in Music Technology; adding orchestra offers students a new way to engage with music education, and provides differentiated learning opportunities for students. Launching the orchestra at M.S. 118 also helps us achieve another goal: creating a pipeline for 4th and 5th grade orchestra students in District 10 to continue to have access to orchestra in middle school.

Saving P.S. 91’s Music Program Longtime ETM Partner School P.S. 91 in the Bronx was forced to end its partnership with ETM in SY 1920 due to COVID-19-related budget constraints. However, thanks to a CASA (Cultural After-School Adventures Program) grant, the school was able to revive its ETM partnership halfway through the 20-21 school year, re-establishing music education at the school.
In this case, ETM persevered and found a creative way to reallocate critical funding that resulted in students having music instruction. And most importantly, it ensured that students at P.S. 91 would have access to music education. The Band Played On In spite of the pandemic and related restrictions, ETM was able to maintain band programs at P.S. 39 in Staten Island, P.S. 369 in the Bronx, and M.S. 209. It took a lot of creativity, time, energy and financial resources (absorbed by ETM) to find a way to keep these band programs alive, but ETM relentlessly pursued solutions in order to create opportunities for the children at our Partner Schools. For example, ETM utilized free and paid online teaching/ learning platforms such as SmartMusic and Essential Elements, not to mention Google Classroom, Kahoot, and even Zoom. We also helped our band directors develop ways to engage their students remotely, including

virtual recruitment to join their school’s band. Lessons were taught online as well as in-person to keep students safe and promote equity for all band members, and all forms were digitized to support parents’ contactless submission. Finally, ETM identified new ways for students to present their work, and even helped teachers create opportunities for students to play together through virtual performances.

High School Pilot This year, ETM launched its first high school program at H.S. 223 in the Bronx, despite the restrictions imposed by COVID-19. All 10th grade students had music technology five (5) times per week with their ETM music teacher. This instruction also fulfilled their high school graduation requirement in State Mandated Arts. In service of this pilot, ETM secured a Hyde & Watson grant of $5K to purchase a music tech lab to support the continuation of this program when
‘‘
school resumes in-person this fall. (The grant from Hyde & Watson included a $5K grant for a similar tech lab in a nearby middle school.) With this partnership, ETM has demonstrated its commitment to growth and to becoming an organization that serves all NYC students from PreK through 12th grade. It also highlights ETM’s depth of expertise in arts education for elementary and secondary students of all grades.
I feel like [ETM Music Teacher] Mr. Smith gives us the opportunity to be creative and express ourselves. Whatever opinion I have, it’s a safe space for me to ask that and learn more — Music Tech Pilot Partner School Student
Music Tech This year, thanks to the philanthropy of CC Capital, New York Community Trust, and the GKV Foundation, Music Tech expanded to be accessible to thousands of students at 25 middle and elementary schools. We provided access to the learning management system MusicFirst, which includes platforms such as Spotify’s Soundtrap (digital and
collaborative music editing), and Flat.IO (music notation). While the MusicFirst platform was a vital resource during remote learning, it was also valuable in the classroom: many students in Music Tech classrooms had access to in-school Sound Labs where they were able to record and mix their own music.
‘‘
I teach 6th and 7th grade Music Technology, and my curriculum relies on my students’ ability to create music compositions using programs like Flat IO and Soundtrap. MusicFirst allows my students to access these tools with a single login and allows me as a teacher to set up projects and assignments for them —Dr. Adam Beard, ETM Music Teacher
‘‘
$125,000 Financial Assistance Credits The greatest challenge of all at the start of school year 2020, was the severe budget cuts to arts programs. Recognizing that challenge, ETM issued $125,000 in scholarships to ensure schools could keep music alive. ETM was able to provide support to 26 schools that did not otherwise have the funds to support their music program.
ETM on TV ETM provided Let’s Learn NYC, an educational TV show developed by NYC’s DOE and broadcast by WNET, with dozens of lessons, beginning in May 2020, which were seen by a potential audience of over 2 million viewers. In addition to providing music lessons to Let’s Learn NYC, ETM also provided music lessons to BronxNet, a community access channel that reaches 300,000 Bronx families. By extending our reach through TV, ETM provided access to music education to millions of students in New York City.
Celebrating in Style: Keep Music Alive Virtual Gala After cancelling our in-person Gala, originally scheduled for June 2020, ETM took advantage of the transition to remote activities and produced our very first fullvirtual Gala. Over 800 guests joined us on October 15th, 2020, to enjoy performances from Tony Award-winners Kelli O’Hara and Norm Lewis and Grammy Award-winners Joshua Bell and Marc Cohn. Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony winner and legendary producer Quincy Jones also shared some reflections and introduced a student performance. Thanks to the leadership of our board and major supporters, we exceeded our fundraising goal. You can watch the Virtual Gala here.
30th Anniversary Virtual Concert Despite the limitations created by COVID-19, we were determined to celebrate our 30th anniversary in
style. We know that music brings joy, so we decided to program a free virtual concert for our community. On August 12th, 2021, we hosted an online concert that featured original performances from Tony Award-winners Ali Stroker and Laura Benanti, plus longtime ETM friends Time for Three and Brooklyn-based quartet Sterling Strings. The concert also featured partner school students from M.S. 180 performing Katy Perry’s “Rise,” and an original student-composition aptly titled “We Do Not Like Covid,” written by students at partner school M.S. 206. You can watch the Virtual Concert here.
Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Like many organizations, we were rocked by the social unrest and progression of the Black Lives Matter movement in the summer of 2020 after the murder of George Floyd. Since that inflection point, ETM has been actively exploring the impacts of DEI and antiracism in the classroom and workplace, examining and investigating ETM’s current policies and practices, and implementing new ones that ensure that our students and staff feel included, and that

our classrooms are places where diversity is celebrated and identity is affirmed. A critically important part of supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion in our music rooms is looking at the music we teach. That means reviewing every single piece of music in ETM’s repertoire. A task force of ETM staff created guidelines that help determine each piece’s suitability. For example, music in the style of a specific culture by a writer outside of that culture– an “inauthentic source”–may need to be taught to students within a particular

context. And music that is derived from minstrelsy does not have any place in our classrooms. As music is being thoughtfully removed from our library, our teachers are also working on adding music, especially music written by and for people who share the cultures, origins, and experiences of our students.
presented by artists of color on ethnomusicology and authenticity versus cultural appropriation. In these sessions, our music teachers discussed what “decolonizing” and anti-racist approaches mean in music education, learned ways to question traditional educational structures, and addressed systemic issues that affect their students.
We’ve also offered a series of dedicated professional development (PD) opportunities for our teachers, including those

LOOKING FORWARD As we look forward, we are filled with great optimism. The world is in recovery and ETM is making important strides towards the future. Of course, the students in our classrooms have new challenges. For some, it’s their first time in a school in a year and a half, and it shows: many kids in our classrooms need constant encouragement to engage and tremendous social-emotional support after the collective--and, in some cases, individual--trauma of remote learning last year. But our teachers are ready to provide them with the empathy and compassion they need, and are offering music as a tool for processing, for confidencebuilding, for academic motivation, and for creative expression.
them to be digital citizens beyond the music room. And we’re focusing on investing in our teacher corps. It’s more evident than ever that our teachers are the backbone of our organization. We’re committed to improving our incentives for teachers in order to increase the number of teachers we employ and improve our capacity to serve students. Our new incentives include sign-on and referral bonuses, in addition to the 100+ hours of professional development we already provide each and every teacher.
What’s more, we are providing resources to facilitate the teacher certification process and are working with professional associations and schools of education to increase the number of ETM teachers available to NYC We are also pursuing an expansion students. of our music technology curricula.
