Casio Continues To Support Notes for Notes And Its Quest To Bring Music Education To AllDOVER, N.J., May 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Music is a universal language that can not only change the way people see the world, but also inspire them to do something great. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Notes for Notes® (N4N®) – a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, will continue to exact its mission and give youth access to explore, create and record music while at home. As a longstanding N4N partner, Casio is eager to continue to support the program and uphold the belief that music has the power to transcend virtually any cultural, racial, or socioeconomic barrier. Prior to the nationwide shutdown, N4N provided access to musical instruments, recording equipment and mentorship at a variety of Boys & Girls Clubs and after-school facilities in cities across the nation. With all 25 N4N Studios temporarily closed with tentative reopen dates, a pivot was necessary to meet the demands of its mission. With that said, N4N has developed and tested its digital infrastructure across key markets including San Francisco, Austin, Nashville and Atlanta, with a nationwide rollout that started in late April. Although youth cannot meet face-to-face, N4N plans to maintain its sense of community among members, by giving them hope while building excitement for the return to the studios. With the introduction of the digital platform, the team hopes to help youth continue their creative journeys while inspiring new paths they have yet to imagine. "With the world in crisis, organizations like N4N continue to shine a positive light with music, love and community at the heart of their values. We are proud to partner with such a group whose mission never halts, even in the face of a pandemic," said Stephen Schmidt, Vice President of Casio's Electronic Musical Instrument division. "Although the studios are closed for the time being, N4N propels students forward by providing channels to learn outside of the typical classroom or studio. Casio is eager to lend a helping hand and continue the mission to bring music to all." N4N Digital is tansforming the experience of making music in its studios through a combination of three things that relate back to its pillars of Confidence, Creativity, Compassion and Community:
