Yamaha Clavinova CSP Digital Pianos: App driven smart piano that teaches you to play.
About the Clavinova CSP Series
Yamaha Clavinova already has a couple of series – the CLP and the CVP series, but the CSP series has tools that makes it easier to learn to play the piano.
The Clavinova CSP series pianos make it easy to learn to play the piano by “gamifying” the piano experience. You can play along to recordings by original artists.
The Smart Pianist app, that comes along with the CSP piano, scans the existing music library on the mobile device and generates a piano accompaniment score. As the song plays, the score scrolls by on the device, and the guided lights on the CSP guide the fingers to play the correct notes.
There are four lights above each key, which gives the player plenty of advance notice about upcoming notes. This also provides the fun factor of band-simulator games such as Rock Band and Guitar Hero, only with real music on a premium-quality instrument.
“The Smart Pianist app is the holy grail to learning, enabling aspiring musicians who have passively listened to favorite artists, wishing they could play their songs, to actively play these same songs immediately.”
The Clavinova CSP series with Smart Pianist is compatible with a wide range of Android devices and OS versions (that are capable of MIDI communication).
Clavinova CSP Pianos
Yamaha Clavinova CSP-150 and CSP-170 digital pianos feature fully-orchestrated, hyper-realistic accompaniment styles and rhythms; a huge variety of keyboard, orchestral, and percussion voices; auto-harmonies; and many more of the musical and entertainment features of the Clavinova CVP series.
Thanks to the Smart Pianist app, full control of all these functions is on hand even as the CSP itself minimizes blinking lights and buttons to retain the dignified appearance of a traditional acoustic piano.
These pianos come with several built-in songs (popular and classical songs by the likes of Adele, Sting, Elton John, and Coldplay are built in, as are 303 lessons by stalwarts such as Beyer, Czerny, Hanon, and Burgmuller).
Just select what you want to learn on the app, and you can learn to play both the melody and accompaniment for these songs and lessons (aided by the Stream Lights on the CSP).
