Jazz pianist/singer Judy Carmichael of New York writes:

  "'How do we get a younger audience for jazz?'  This is the question
  I hear constantly, and I have the answer: Bring the music to them,
  instead of waiting for them to come to it."

Can't we do the same thing with mechanical music, like bring our
instruments to the kids in their classrooms?
