This is the story of self confidence, self-expression, and motivation with children in school. Music has the power to change the lives of our kids, and in that way, the state of the world. ETM-Colorado envisions a world where music education is considered an essential part of childhood development in Colorado.
This back to school season, donate to ETM-Colorado to support setting classrooms up for success with not only instruments but professional development for the teachers.

Our Program
The downsizing of school budgets too often results in the elimination of music programs despite its proven potential to develop children’s emotional, behavioral, and relational development. Our mission: to bring music back to schools so that all children, despite social or economic status, have access to a high-quality education. Music is integrated into the school day through the skills of exceptional music teachers who are trained to promote diversity and foster parental and community engagement. Our national network serves more than 40,000 children every year in New York, Los Angeles, Denver and Boston. In Colorado, we operate in 9 schools involving a community of 10,000 people including students, families and school staff.
