Education Through Music (ETM) is an NYC DOE vendor that helps schools build high quality music programs that serve all students and meet NY state learning standards in the Arts.

ETM provides the music teacher, the curriculum, the professional development, on-going management and oversight, and remains accountable for the quality of the program.

The goal of a partnership with ETM is to build a music program that becomes an indispensable part of the school culture, engages the broader community and enables the school to hire their ETM teacher when the fit is right, and school leadership expectations are met. This process may take one or more years, during which time ETM helps support the program through its fundraising work.

The Young People's Chorus of New York City's Schools Program brings YPC’s innovative choral curriculum and philosophy to students across New York City public schools. The in-school curriculum is carefully curated by YPC’s artistic team each year to represent New York City’s diverse student population both in terms of repertoire and learning styles. Choristers not only learn a diverse array of musical styles, but learn music through diverse and culturally sustaining practices including movement, improvisation, historical/cultural context, and music literacy. YPC conductors work closely with teachers and school administration to integrate the YPC chorus into the fabric of the school and surrounding community. YPC school choruses frequently perform at school assemblies, graduations, and community functions as representatives of their school and the amazing potential of young people.
