It began when music Teacher Clyde Quick introduced the Davis Joint Unified District (DJUSD) to the Education Through Music program (ETM) and suggested that they provide ETM staff development for the fourth-grade music teachers. Mr. Quick then went further, suggesting the Davis School Arts Foundation (DSAF) collaborate with the district by providing a grant for one to one teacher mentorships, additional materials, demo lessons and community involvement for school families. DSAF and DJUSD, ()who regularly work together), quickly agreed, and DSAF approved a three-year support grant for Education Through Music: Reaching the Next Generation.
