WELCOME

Welcome to the summer edition of our Atelier newsletter.

I’m especially proud to present this issue, because it provides so much useful content from so many different sources.

We have videos from our friends in Japan that provide excellent performance examples of famous drawbar playing styles and techniques, downloadable registrations and tips from two of our Atelier Festival “Professional Division” performers, a look at the new C-200 Classic keyboard with Maestro Hector Olivera, and some great gospel performances and comments from our own Chuck Wright.

Regardless of your level of play or the particular model you own, there are great ideas and inspirations in this issue that can help you become a better musician and enhance your playing enjoyment.

Speaking of sharing inspiration (and your talent), have you ever thought about posting your own performance video to YouTube™? It’s great fun, and easy to do. If you decide to upload one of your Atelier performances to YouTube, send me a link along with your name, address, and size, and we’ll send you a Roland Atelier polo shirt. (While supplies last.)

All of us at Roland appreciate your continued support and enthusiasm, and we look forward to seeing you at the next Roland event in your area.

Musically yours,
–Rick Morales
