Mission Statement
Founded in 2006, the mission of Education Through Music-Los Angeles is to promote and provide music in under-resourced schools as part of the core curriculum for every child in order to enhance students' academic achievement and creative and overall development. We partner with under-resourced schools that lack the resources for a school-wide music program, and collaborate with school and district leaders to customize a high quality, sequential music program that serves every child for the entire year. We believe every child deserves a well-rounded education, one that includes music and the arts.
