A local music critic called Hyman, "Cleveland's most universally beloved living musician." His career encompassed 48 years with the Cleveland Orchestra, 55 years as founding conductor of the Cleveland Women's Orchestra, and 65 years as violin teacher at the Cleveland Music School Settlement.

He was brought to Cleveland at age 3 and educated at Central and West high schools. He took violin lessons at Bailey's music school and later at the Cleveland Music School Settlement, and began teaching at 18.

In 1927 Schlander joined the second violin section of the Cleveland Orchestra, and occupied the first chair for 35 years. He also began conducting, working under Herbert von Karajan and Bernhard Paumgartner at Salzburg in 1931.

Concerned that women musicians talents were almost totally ignored by symphony orchestras, Schandler formed the Cleveland Women's Orchestra in 1935 which he led for the rest of his life, giving the baton to another only 2 years before his death.

Hyman's hobbies were fishing, drawing and rock collecting. He presented a large part of his extensive rock collection to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
