I'm a HERO Program
With a musical instrument,
anyone can become a hero.
There’s
an invisible wall
around you too.
“Pave your own path to the future.”
These words may sound obvious, but it’s an impossible task for many children around the world.
Social structures lead to inequality and poverty, giving rise to a sense of disparity that limits the future for many children.
In reality, some even get caught up in juvenile delinquency and crime.
There are people confronting this problem and taking action, and we are a part of that effort as well.
The stars of the “I’m a HERO Program” are the children who take on the invisible wall using the power of music,
and those who help to make it happen.
We have
long believed in
the power of
music.
Music won’t solve every problem, but it does have a unique, almost magical way of changing people.
We have been making musical instruments for over 100 years
and have witnessed first hand the impact they have had on people the world over,
inspiring and healing them with the gift of music.
That is why we don’t just want to sell instruments
—we want to help the culture of playing music take root, and ultimately make the world a better place.
is in that spirit, that we have embarked on a variety of initiatives that will gradually take us closer to this pursuit.
With
a musical
instrument,
anyone can
become a hero.
Any child can become a “hero” all on their own. The experience of becoming such a hero leads to greater self-confidence and awareness — crucial attributes for reaching goals and having a rewarding life experience. This is what we believe, so we decided to provide a stage for children to shine in the same way as the heroes they admire.
