Mission Statement
Don Rath Jr – StringTunes
The purpose of this document is to present my mission statement as pertaining to doing business in the Music Industry and functioning out of the State of Illinois, under the name of StringTunes.
My mission is threefold; to compose music, to help others with publishing support for getting their music out there and to provide funding to help others in need as detailed below.
Like any endeavor it is important to have a reason beyond the self that motivates, invigorates and causes one to “keep on” long after others would have stopped. My chosen mission is to generate a sufficient income stream capable of providing financial resources in alignment with my mission.
To help children get a music education by providing grants, scholarships and academic awards.
To help the terminally ill by providing monies assisting in supporting hospice care services for them.
To help talented musically oriented people to gain marketplace exposure.
This mission is now the underpinnings of and my reasons for doing the things I do, and for giving me something to do considerably beyond the self. Neither takes precedence over the other.
My Plan
Music and music composition has been a part of my life ever since I can remember. Throughout my life it has been a motivational force and driver behind a lot of what I do. Creating music is the personal intent side of this venture and in some ways the spiritual side as well. In commerce it is a necessity to produce new products on a consistent basis thereby establishing longevity and financial sustainability in the marketplace. Lastly, helping those in need of assistance with music education and with Hospice Care is vitally important to the greater community.
On January 31, 2007, I started StringTunes. It’s sole purpose initially was to provide music publishing services including sales and marketing for my own creative musical works. It’s focus has now changed to include helping others seeking publishing support for new music in the classical and chamber music genres. Composers get little support in the early years of their career and this is a focus as well. The knowledge I have gained over the years of finding my own way as a composer is of great value to others and it is through the offering of this knowledge that it can benefit others. Consequently, a large part of the StringTunes purpose is to locate creative and talented individuals who are seeking music publishing guidance and assistance. The primary goal of StringTunes is doing business as a music publisher, selling and marketing the creative products and services arising out of the creative and continuous efforts of composers as well as from original and newly discovered talent.
All of that work has led me to develop the ideas behind the StringTunes Foundation. Its purpose is to be the deliverer of the funds designated in my mission statement. I am in the process now of establishing the not-for-profit StringTunes Foundation to fulfill this purpose.
Once established, the business triangle will be complete with a single focus in full support of my mission statement. Collectively, these ideas, once accomplished, will fulfill my most important and lifelong dream of helping others.
It is important to note that these things cannot be accomplished on my own. The amount of work, organization, management and the skills needed to accomplish these goals requires the help, guidance and assistance from others like you who are interested in joining in to make these dreams come true for all concerned. So, yes, this is my mission statement, my vision of what I hope will occur and you are cordially invited to help make this happen. Let me know if you wish to participate.
With complete sincerity and with my highest regards,
Don Rath Jr
