Some Frequently Asked Questions
"I'm interested, but what if I don't have a keyboard?" No problem.. we understand that if you don't already have a keyboard or piano, you might not be ready to purchase one until you're sure that this is right for you. We're happy to loan you a portable keyboard (for free!) until you're ready to get your own.

Yamaha's Clavinova Digital Keyboard is the classroom instru
ment. This isn't like the piano lessons you had as a kid! Learn more about the classroom instrument here.
