"WATCH & LEARN" VIDEOS ADD TO THE CLAVINOVA EXPERIENCE

BUENA PARK (April 19, 2002)—The "Quick Start" videotape that every new Clavinova CVP-200 series owner receives with his or her instrument is a great introduction to the capabilities of Yamaha's top digital piano line-but now a set of new video offerings is available to guide users to even greater heights of creativity and enjoyment.

The "Watch & Learn" series gives Clavinova owners the experience of a virtual expert seminar in their own homes. The tapes follow Yamaha Piano Consultant Tom Folenta and Yamaha Piano Specialist Craig Knudsen as they give step-by step demonstrations of the Clavinova's many features. Volume I covers topics such as organizing your data, exploring the voice section, playing songs using the style accompaniment system, enhancing your music with Voice Effects, saving your settings, using the pedals, and more. Volume II offers detailed tips on song playback, song recording including multi-track projects, song editing, and style editing. Together, the two VHS tapes make up a powerful set of enjoyable lessons for Clavinova enthusiasts of all levels.

The tapes are available for $26.95 each at many Yamaha piano retailers, and they are also available directly from MIDItainment, Yamaha's partner in creating them, at www.miditainment.com or 1-800-501-MIDI. Both will be available soon on DVD as well.

A fourth video production dedicated to the Clavinova, "The Clavinova and the Home PC," will debut this spring. This offering will explore the exciting possibilities that result when you connect a Clavinova to a computer-including printing music played on the Clavinova, the use of basic piano instruction software, recording studio functions and more. It will also be available for $26.95 through the same outlets.
