JANE ORTNER'S LEGACY: INSPIRING KIDS WITH MUSIC

Lady Gaga and eighth grade English teacher Jonathan Bernal will honored at the Grammy Museum’s Jane Ortner Education Award luncheon on Monday, 4/4, at the Beverly Hills home of Ron Burkle. The live music will be handled by one John Legend.

Jane Ortner, the late wife of renowned entertainment attorney Chuck Ortner, was an elementary school teacher who inspired, and was beloved by, countless students. Guitar in hand, Jane used music to help teach basic academic subjects, but also the important non-academic skills of cooperation, collaboration and communication.

“After I joined the Board of the Grammy Museum,” Chuck explained in 2014, “I realized that there could not be a more fitting tribute to Jane’s memory than to create a program as part of the Museum’s educational mission that would honor teachers who, like Jane, successfully bring music into the classroom to enhance the educational experience.”
