This is Notes for Notes- 2020 Edition

PRODUCING TOMORROW’S MUSICIANS®

NASHVILLE EAST ST

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 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, and Community that will prepare them for whatever path they choose.

MISSION Notes for NotesÂŽ is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing youth with completely FREE access to music instruments, instruction and recording studio environments so that music may become a profoundly positive experience in their lives.

Notes for Notes Studios are packed with guitars, drums, keys/synths, DJ gear, digital music stations and professional recording gear offering youth completely FREE access to explore, create, and record music. Located inside Boys & Girls Clubs and after-school centers in underserved areas around the country, every studio is staffed by a N4N team member. These producers educate, encourage, and listen to each youth member to help them be their best selves, both personally and artistically.

And don’t let nobody hold you back from what you supposed to be

BY THE MUSIC

Cause baby you a diamond, can’t u see So baby keep on shinin’ for me And don’t let nobody hold

Here is the beginning of a new set of wings to set me free, Take off I’m flying, beautiful things I’ve never seen to the worst things you wouldn’t believe. ~Rika- Austin

Life has no melody Until you find your heart beat ~Zion- DC

I don’t say much about how I’ve been feeling But look in my music and see it has meaning ~Neiman- Chicago

you back from what you supposed to be ~Miracle- Memphis

It’s crazy ‘cause I’m not the one who chose this But I ain’t trippin’ we all got a purpose My faith in music’s making me a fighter Prayin’ and grindin’ til these days get brighter ~Edwin- Los Angeles
