Ethos

Ethos Ethos, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, we believe all kids deserve access to the benefits of music education. Ethos believes in building community through music.

All group classes and lessons in our N Portland location are sliding-scale, as are many of our programs throughout the Portland metro area. Founded in 1998 in Portland, Oregon, we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides music lessons, multicultural performances and workshops to more than 7,000 students a year. We believe that all kids, regardless of socioeconomic status or geographic location, des

erve access to music education. Our organization employs eight administrative staff, ten full-time AmeriCorps members and 30 part-time music instructors. The President’s Commission on the Arts and Humanities has named Ethos one of the top 50 after-school arts programs in the U.S. eight times since 2003. To learn more about us, visit www.ethos.org.
