‘Hybrid Piano Advancement’
– Presented by Lionel Cranfield

Is a new, cheaper digital better or worse for the student than a 100 year old piano? Old and poor condition second hand pianos are being offered as “great to learn on” by unwitting and uncaring importers. This workshop will look at the importance of a traditional piano not just being mechanically playable but being musically competent to allow sensitive, dynamic and colourful playing both for teaching and in performance.

With huge advancements over the past 5 years in hybrid pianos such as the Kawai Novus 10 (grand) and Kawai Novus 5 (upright), with traditional piano actions, dampers and the ability to be played musically and sensitively with similar touch as a traditional quality piano, they present a great option, including in a teaching environment.

Delve into why a website is invaluable beyond it just being a marketing tool, learn what all the jargon means, and see a range of solutions suitable for teachers from the simplest and cheapest through to more customisable and professional.
