You've heard of a left handed drum kit and a left handed guitar? Well now there's a left handed piano. Kawai pianos, the specialist piano manufacturer renowned for its innovation and creative thinking have announced the launch of a brand new concept - the left-handed piano. It's true that left handed people are generally stronger with their left hand than their right so it is more difficult when learning the piano when the majority of melodies and rhythms are played using the right hand. After an extensive study and hours of research Kawai have found a solution to this problem. They created a number of prototypes and invited left handed pianists to test the concept with a surprising amount of approval for the idea. Many left handed pianists found that by effectively swapping the keyboard round so the bass notes run from right to left instead of left to right. Bottom A is now at the far right of the keyboard with high C obviously being at the far left. They have also reversed the pedals so the sustain pedal is on the left and soft pedal on the right - again because left handed people are also generally stronger in their left leg. Due for release at the Frankfurt music show in 2 weeks time, Kawai have announced the new left handed piano will only intially be available as a K2 upright alternative in black polyester. They hope to increase the range by the end of the year to the other upright models and there are even talks about developing the concept into their new range of GX grand pianos. They will also release other cabinet finishes but initially it will just be black polish. We hope to take delivery of our first Kawai K2LH-MEP upright piano by the end of April. For more information on this great concept call us on or email [email protected]

flowkey shows your students sheet music and an interactive video of a pianist performing the piece in a combined view. By allowing students to learn by ear and by reading notes, flowkey helps them to make faster progress through a piece – keeping them motivated to practice on their own.

During lessons, your students are excited and then comes the daily routine…

Does this scenario sound familiar to you? During piano lessons, your students are happy and motivated. With your guidance they can concentrate well and have a lot of fun making music. Then the lesson ends, a week goes by, and you meet again. Surprise: your students haven’t practiced all week – not even one single minute. How can that happen?

The daily lives of your students are full of distractions: Videos to watch, friends to hang out with, and games to play. Even when it comes to making music, there are so many apps competing for your students’ attention. In this busy world, people have less patience and crave more convenience. When they can get instant gratification from almost everything, today’s students might struggle to find the appeal in spending hours practicing an instrument. A learning app that keeps your students motivated and strengthens your role as a teacher Today more than ever, there are countless obstacles that can get in the way of regular practice. That’s what inspired us to create flowkey: to make learning an instrument easy and accessible for everyone. With flowkey, we have developed an app that offers your students an engaging learning experience at home – and frees you up to focus on the important details during lessons. flowkey is the ideal teaching assistant: It’s always there to encourage your students to practice solo and adds a new dimension to your lessons.
