“Although ETMLA has been honoring individuals with the prestigious Shining Star Award for 13 years, they have never recognized a business or manufacturer before,” says Tiffany Stalker, senior manager of Education at KORG USA, Inc. “This was a very special evening and because so many influential decision makers were there and excited about this new technology option, I anticipate our efforts will grow with this group to make a greater impact in areas where we really couldn’t have been before.”
ETM-LA partners with inner-city schools to provide music as a core subject for all children, and utilizes music education as a catalyst to improve academic achievement, motivation for school and self-confidence. KORG has had a long standing relationship with the organization by building top-notch music technology labs in the New York area, and has recently started working with the Los Angeles organization to help provide a variety of gear to further enhance the importance of music programs in schools in California.
