Typewriter Class 101: Your Typewriter is not an instrument.

From Concert Four 2019

The Typewriter by Leroy Anderson features an unusual percussion instrument as soloist, the old fashioned typewriter! Considered by some to be one of "the wittiest and most clever pieces in the orchestral repertoire" this piece is always great fun to perform and listen to.

Music has a lot of power. It can uplift your consciousness. It is a salve for all emotional wounds and is a powerful tool of connection.
