HFCA + N4N

SONIC STATEMENT There will be a future where all youth who desire to experience producing music will have the opportunity. There will be no barriers to what, how, why or when they create the music they desire. Music and the freedom to express themselves will be the catalyst that helps them discover an identity and a path.

Notes for Notes will be the first door they walk through in every community that embraces their desire to begin a musical journey. The studio is the environment, music is the tool, and our focus is helping them build CONFIDENCE, CREATIVITY, COMPASSION, COMMITMENT AND COMMUNITY that will prepare them for whatever path they choose.
