Sharing the benefits of music education
Ethos was founded to share the benefits of music education with kids across Oregon, and we do that in a variety of ways. We provide affordable and accessible individual and group music lessons at our headquarters and our outreach programs bring music enrichment opportunities to youth and families in schools, community centers, and other organizations throughout Portland.
