Music Teacher

About the role

Education Through Music is a non-profit organization that partners with New York City Public Schools to place music teachers and programs back into school’s curricula.

Music is a part of a well-rounded education; it is essential for students' social and emotional well-being and a critical tool for establishing equity and success.
