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 spent 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 The Boys Are Back In Town (from Wikipedia):
“The Boys Are Back in Town” is a song by Irish hard rock band Thin Lizzy. The song was originally released in 1976 as the first single from their album Jailbreak. “It was 1976 and we were touring America”, recalled Scott Gorham. “Jailbreak wasn’t shifting and we weren’t selling any tickets”. The band were surprised to learn from their manager that “The Boys Are Back in Town” was becoming a hit record, especially as the track had not been among the ten songs originally chosen by the band for the album. Gorham attributed the song’s unexpected success to two DJs in Louisville, Kentucky who “played it incessantly until other stations in the surrounding area picked up on it… Had that song not kickstarted the sales of the album, then the band was over.”

About The Van Tuyl Music Foundation
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.
