Chicago, USA - 2006 Ron Hering Award Winner

Name: Harry M. Steckman
Personal Mission: “To use the power of music to teach others and to heal ”

Action in the World: Harry possesses a doctorate in education and for 28 years has been instrumental in the children's music education programs at the Steckman Studio of Music, the non-profit organization that he founded. Over the years, he has been involved in or overseen The Studio's music education programs at various Chicago Public Schools and suburban school districts, as well as the in-house programs and classes that The Studio offers to the community. Harry believes that through music young people can develop self-confidence, socialization skills, self-motivation, and that music education positively impacts children's ability to learn in other areas of their education. Harry embodies the New Warrior spirit in this work by putting the children first -- above money, above notoriety, and certainly above himself. He has tirelessly championed his cause in front of various corporate, governmental and public administration agencies to obtain the necessary funding to ensure success at every turn for "his kids."
