OUR STUDENTS


ELM is more than a music program – we change the trajectory of our students’ lives by providing them with skills that are transformative and transferrable. Through a 10 year journey with ELM, our students: 

  • Grow as musicians, taking pride in their own achievements and that of their fellow performers 

  • Collaborate in small and large ensembles, developing social and emotional skills needed for success 

  • Become curious, creative and confident individuals who bring joy to themselves and their peers 

  • Master problem-solving through practice, commitment, and creativity that scaffolds their academic endeavors 

  • Grow as mentors and leaders who make a meaningful difference in their community. 

  • Graduate from high school ready to pursue higher education and a career of their choosing 

Our ultimate goal is that students complete the program as musicians, scholars, and leaders who are prepared to thrive and contribute to their community.
