About Us
Our Mission
Notes with a Purpose harnesses the transformative and healing power of music to build connection, inspire confidence, and strengthen community.
Our Vision
A future where music is a force for connection, healing, and transformation — strengthening families, empowering communities, and amplifying voices in Las Vegas and beyond.
Our Flagship Program: The Lullaby Project
In partnership with Carnegie Hall and Living Grace Homes, Notes with a Purpose brings the internationally acclaimed Lullaby Project to Las Vegas. This program pairs new and expectant mothers facing homelessness, poverty, or other challenges with professional musicians to write and record personal lullabies for their babies. These lullabies become cherished keepsakes, strengthening the bond between parent and child while fostering hope, healing, and self-expression.
The first Las Vegas Lullaby Project sessions are set for January and February 2026, with professional musicians collaborating alongside select UNLV faculty and alumni students.
Our Track Record
Since 2016, Notes with a Purpose has reached over 12,500 children and 4,000 disenfranchised adults through innovative music programming, including:
Music: Mission Live – Live concerts in homeless shelters, creating moments of connection, dignity, and joy for residents.
Music JuiceBox Series – Interactive performances in elementary schools introducing young students to diverse instruments and genres.
Carnival of the Animals at the Las Vegas Natural History Museum – A family-friendly concert blending live music and storytelling in a museum setting.
What Partners Say
“It has been a joy to watch the impact Notes with a Purpose have had on these evenings [for Mission: Music Live]. The music seemed to bypass the head and go straight to the heart, and for a short while, some of the brokenness of those around you seemed to fade away as the music brought light into their day.”
— Nicki Antill, COO, Las Vegas Rescue Mission
“I want to thank you for allowing your performers to visit the students at Tanaka Elementary. The overall presentation was simply brilliant and quite frankly one of the best I have ever seen.”
— Tony Davis
Principal, Wayne Tanaka Elementary School
