New technology and piano study in higher education: getting the most out of Computer-Controlled Player Pianos

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 December 2008

Abstract

So far, the ever-increasing popularity of music technology has had little effect on the way we conduct performance studies. However, with the appearance of Computer Controlled Player Pianos, such as the Yamaha Disklavier and Bosendorfer SE, the technology is just waiting to be used. In this article, the authors examine various ways in which this technology can be used to enhance traditional methods of piano teaching.
