Education Through Music: The Podcast

About Education Through Music: The Podcast

Education Through Music (ETM) is the largest nonprofit provider of direct and comprehensive music education as a core subject in New York City schools. To explore the practice and importance of music education with guests in and beyond the field of music education, ETM hosts two podcasts. In Education Through Music: The Podcast, host Noah Teachey sits down with guest teachers, schools administrators, and education researchers to discuss the practice and importance of music education in our schools. Conversations highlight the value of music education to students, the critical role that qualified music teachers have in transforming classrooms into spaces of learning and discovery, and music’s unique ability to strengthen school communities. In ETM's podcast series, Notables, Noah sits down with leaders in the music, arts, technology, and related industries to learn about the influential role that music has played in their lives. Guests share formative experiences about being exposed to music at an earlier age, the ongoing impact of music on their careers, and their perspectives on the importance of ensuring all students have access to high quality music education at school. Education Through Music is a 32 year-old music nonprofit organization that partners with under-resourced New York City schools to build sustainable music programs. http://etmonline.org

   Notables - Ep 15: Carlos Simon

   We had the great privilege to speak with GRAMMY-nominated composer, curator, and activist Carlos Simon. Carlos is Composer-in-Residence for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and holds the inaugural Composer Chair of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the first in the organization’s 143-year history. And coming up this April, Gustavo Dudamel will lead the world premiere of Simon’s Good News Mass with the LA Philharmonic, a celebratory homage to Black joy, spiritual discovery, and the power of faith. In this inspiring conversation, Carlos talks about his musical roots and its ongoing influence in his work, his artistic process, as well as advice he received from his teachers early in his career that has guided his craft since. Emphasized throughout is Carlos's belief that music should be a means of service to others. Tune in now to hear from this acclaimed artist as he continues to reach new heights and make music accessible to all.
