My Project

In the keyboard lab at our school students enjoy learning to play piano, yet never get to enjoy the feel of an actual piano with weighted keys. Recently, we were lucky enough to receive a full scale digital piano, so that next year our students can have the opportunity to play on something more genuinely reflective of a piano, rather than the smaller, lightweight keyboards they currently use. If you've ever played a piano, you'll understand how important the feel of weighted keys can enrich the experience!

Unfortunately, we don't have a stand to put our keyboard on, which will make it difficult for students to have access on a regular basis.

The accessories to an instrument may not be as glamorous as the instrument itself, but they truly are a part of making the instrument viable. By having a stand and the appropriate case for storage, we will be able to utilize the new piano frequently and ensure that it is kept safe for years to come.
