Casio, Notes For Notes And Disney/Own Star Roshon Fegan Host Special Music Workshop

"At Casio, we feel it is our responsibility to educate the next generation of musicians," said Stephen Schmidt, Vice President of Casio's Electronic Musical Instrument Division. "We couldn't pass up the opportunity to team up with Notes for Notes and Roshon, who is a Casio artist, to help teach children how to create and perform music. The chance to learn from a talented artist such as Roshon is an experience these children will carry with them for the rest of their lives and we are honored to be a part of it."

Notes for Notes™ (N4N™) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that designs, equips and staffs after-school recording studios inside Boys & Girls Clubs offering youth the opportunity to explore, create, and record music free of charge. At the core of the organization is a focus on putting youth on positive paths with music as the first step, as numerous studies have shown that children who have access to musical education perform better academically and socially.

"We are very grateful to Roshon and Casio for their passion and commitment to helping us enrich children's lives in our community by giving the gift of music," said Raymond Jacob, Chief Operating Officer of Notes for Notes.
