Mission

ELM inspires and empowers youth from underserved communities to thrive emotionally, socially and academically through music education, performance, and participation in a vibrant center of music excellence.

About

After-School Program - Our after-school program is where students aged 7-18 study violin, cello, flute, clarinet, trumpet and trombone for 2-3 hours per day for 2-3 days each week from September through May. In addition to learning technical skills on their instruments, students study their primary instrument in sectionals musicianship (note reading, rhythmic and ear training). During this time, ELM students also receive homework support and tutoring help. Through participation in ELM's intensive, high-quality instrumental music education, ensemble playing, and performance opportunities, ELM students will grow as musicians and as citizens, taking pride in their accomplishments and that of their fellow performers, learn to collaborate in small and large ensembles, skills needed for success in school, college, and the workforce, gain positive self-identity through measurable accomplishments, and master problem-solving through practice, commitment, and determination, engendering confidence and creativity that scaffolds their academic efforts.
