Young Pianists Play Piano Roll Transcription
By Jim Neher

I have seen that young people can love mechanical music if they are
exposed to it.  I direct a two-piano eight-hand ensemble (ages 13 to
18) and every year we learn a piano roll transcription.  We are now
playing "Sheik of Araby" (from the Musical Museum LP, "Honky-Tonk in
Hi Fi") and it is their favorite song.  Here is a link to the video:

Thanks for letting us share this with you.
