ROOTS AND RIFFS It was great having N4N founder Phil’s aunt and uncle visit the Santa Barbara West studio for the first time. They toured the space, shared stories about Phil’s early days, and caught a live youth band performance of Green Day’s “Brain Stew.” Connecting with family helps ground our work in the roots of our mission.
TELLING OUR STORY Producer Bret spoke to the local Kiwanis Club about how Notes for Notes supports youth through free access to music education and mentorship. Their members were engaged and asked great questions. Building local partnerships like this strengthens our community impact.
