Partners Make Us Stronger

The Strength of Partnerships

Together, we are stronger. As our music classes continue to progress and thrive this year, we wish to recognize some recent funding partners supporting ETM-LA's comprehensive in-school music programs. Our foundation, government, and corporate partnerships bolster and strengthen our ability to provide high-quality music education to under-resourced schools. Their consistent support allows us to offer transformative programs and cutting-edge teacher training.

Each partner helps bring our vision to life, enriching the lives of students, families, and communities with the gift of music. Together, we turn passion into action and shape a future where every child has access to the life-changing power of music education.

Thank you to each one of our partners!

We are stronger with you.
