Korg USA recently partnered with two high-profile youth music programs–School of Rock (SoR) and Camp Jam–for kids and young adults, as part of a campaign to support music-making and educational programs for young people. Korg USA outfitted School of Rock’s 70 locations with an assortment of gear, and was also a gear sponsor of The AllStars Program hosted by SoR. Products outfitted to the prestigious AllStars included Korg synthesizers and music workstations. This program is comprised of an elite group of high level achievers enrolled in School of Rock nationwide. AllStar students experience playing in famous rock venues, touring, and jamming with famous rock stars. The Korg gear will be placed in SoR locations after AllStars touring season has ended.
Camp Jam is a rock and roll music program for children and adults. Korg USA was a gear sponsor for the program’s songwriting contest. Acclaimed artists/teachers are also instructing students at Camp Jam 2011 on Korg digital pianos supplied by Korg USA. The contest winners, campers and instructors are all enjoying the new gear. “Our Camp Jam programs are designed to give kids insight and a head start on their music interests and potential careers," said Steve Freeman, National Director for Camp Jam. "Being able to offer these future musicians world-class products from partners like Korg has been a great asset to our instructors and students alike.”
