What is a Transcription from The Van Tuyl Music Foundation?

A transcription from The Van Tuyl Music Foundation means that our team of elite, professional musicians spend hours listening to and learning the song, and then transcribing every note, accent, dynamic and fill we hear. Once the transcription is complete, it is then checked, and re-checked for accuracy before we release it. Because we are human musicians, it is possible that we miss a note somewhere, or make an error, but it is extremely rare. Accuracy is our primary concern, so if you find one, please alert us so we can fix it!

About Panama (from Wikipedia):

“Panama” is a song by the American rock band Van Halen. It was the third US single released from the album 1984. Despite its name, the song is not about the country. Instead, the song was reportedly written about a car.[10][11] In an interview with Howard Stern, lead singer David Lee Roth explained the meaning behind the song. Although the song features some suggestive lyrics, it is about a car that Roth saw race in Las Vegas; its name was “Panama Express”, hence the title of the song. David Lee Roth – lead vocals Eddie Van Halen – guitar, backing vocals Alex Van Halen – drums Michael Anthony – bass guitar, backing vocals

About The Van Tuyl Music Foundation

Hi, my name is Ryan Van Tuyl, and since 2004 I’ve helped thousands of kids learn piano, singing, guitar, bass, drums, and songwriting in schools all over the world. The programs I’ve created teach kids how to achieve their musical dreams and become better, hardworking individuals through learning to play and perform rock, pop, hip-hop, blues, metal, and jazz music. Graduates of my programs have attended prestigious music colleges and universities. However, these programs have only been able to exist in middle-to-upper-class communities, where parents can afford to fund music education for their children directly.

While all of this has been a fantastic experience, it has left out kids who attend schools in underprivileged, more diverse communities without funding for modern music education. Schools and districts in these areas lack funding for the equipment, teachers, curriculum, and support necessary to facilitate rock-band-style programs like the ones I’ve created.

My mission was to tackle this head-on and bring these exceptional programs to students in economically challenged areas, so I sold my music schools and am launching The Van Tuyl Music Foundation to forever change music education. Our foundation will directly provide the funding for the equipment, instruction, curriculum, and support necessary to facilitate these programs.
