KidZNotes is an El Sistema-inspired nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that fights poverty and encourages positive decision making by instructing and engaging children in classical orchestral music. KidZNotes aims to improve children's musical performance, to develop values that contribute to success at school and in society, and to promote children's and families' engagement in program and community activities.

As a collaborator in the East Durham Children's Initiative, KidZNotes' three-year pilot project serves children in East Durham's poorest neighborhoods, where the elementary schools are the lowest-performing in the city. We provide free instruments and music lessons, and we give children hope for the future regardless of their circumstances. By working with local school boards, social organizations, small businesses, and individuals in the community, we strive to reach the maximum number of children. Eventually, we aim to have a system of quality youth orchestras making music across the state. The hard work these children put in and the love they develop for music will open many doors for their futures.
