		<description><![CDATA[Bartolomeo Cristofori - The Inventor of the Piano 

Have you ever wondered who the inventor of the piano was? The piano is such a popular instrument now, but have you ever stopped to think about who had the idea of creating it? 

Believe it or not, at one time if you wanted to play a keyboard instrument your choices were the harpsichord or the organ. While these instruments are great, they also have some drawbacks. The main one is this - no matter how hard or soft you press the keys, they don't play any louder or softer.

		<description><![CDATA[PIANORAMA 2011!

The Nashville Area Music Teachers Association (NAMTA) is proud to present this Fundraiser to the greater Nashville community. Pianorama is an opportunity for area piano students to perform duets in group settings.  That's the "technical" description of it.  The reality is that it's really wild to watch  30 students on 15 pianos do their best to stay perfectly in time while being conducted, all the while hoping to give the spectators a memorable musical experience.  It is really something to watch!
