About Us
It’s more than just a name. Stronger Music is about resourcing educators to help ensembles sound their absolute best.
Our brand’s founder, Jonathan Martin, came up with the idea for the Stronger Music imprint at age 16. Encouraged to write band arrangements & compositions by his high school band director, Jonathan’s first experience creating music was for his high school band, which consisted of about 30 members. Even then, he realized the need for educational resources that served all kinds of ensembles, both large and small, and students from a variety of backgrounds.
After working for nearly a decade on musical projects with everyone from high school bands to Grammy award-winning artists, Jonathan returns to his roots to provide not only great music but also great resources to music educators through the Stronger Music imprint. We don’t just believe music education changes lives; we’ve seen it over and over through stories like those of our founder, Jonathan.
