Location no issue for user-friendly piano

The world’s most advanced remote education keyboard that allows performers to collaborate from any geographical location will be showcased today at The Australian National University.
The ANU School of Music will be combining its state-of-the-art video conferencing equipment with the Yamaha Disklavier piano to create more opportunities for excellence in keyboard education.
The Disklavier piano uses an internet-based application to allow teachers and students to work together in real-time. The piano also has the ability to perfectly synchronise a video recording of any performance, which has a significant application for teaching.
Head of Keyboard at the ANU School of Music Mr Arnan Wiesel, said that the Disklavier used in conjunction with video conferencing is a valuable teaching tool.
“Remote music education is vital in a country with vast geographical distances, and the Disklavier is a very important instrument to help with keyboard tuition,” he said.
The Disklavier will be in action today when the ANU School of Music remotely connects the piano to collaborate with the Wollongong Regional Conservatorium and the Riverina Regional Conservatorium.
