Hello folks!

So the second day of this school is over. Peter told us some things about the keyboards and tried to teach us how to present it. I think the point was that we realized that it’s not a simple task. Each of us went on stage and made a short presentation on PSR-S950 and there always were some lame moments. Well, anyway the Yamaha Corp hasn’t said to us what exactly we can expect. There will be one more meeting with Peter in June and probably it will be clearer then. They also didn’t give the keyboard to any of us but they allowed us to come into their office and to play it there.

Here are some videos and photos I made today. There’s no me in the shot since I was the man behind the camera.










And thank you all sincerely for your support. It’s nice to be able to share parts of you life which involve keyboards with someone who gets it.

very Nice good luck!

This sounds like the opportunity of a lifetime ... give it everything you've got ...

A couple of questions ...
Are the headphones only so that each individual can be playing without disturbing anyone else?
Does everyone speak English?
What PA system were they using?

thank you

Bet you anything this sort of thing won't happen in the USA. I don't think anyone in corporate over here is the slightest bit interested in promoting and selling arrangers.

tony mads usa, All audio devices that I saw in that office were Yamaha ones. They gave us headphones so that we could get familiar with the keyboards and get ready for our presentations. Not all of us could speak English that's why there was a translation.

Talented young man!

Makes me happy that he's a part of this group.

He certainly has a bright future in some part of the keyboard business.


Thanks,


Russ

This is all just so awesome! I am so fascinated by howYamaha are committed and show their commitment to the Arranger market. They are giving their employees and demonstrators actual proper training. And are not afraid to let others see how it's done. Absolutely outstanding. I only wish such opportunities existed in the UK.

They do, the last addition was Ian House to Yamaha about 18 months ago however keyboard distributers in this country tend to go for players that have already played regularly in public.

The demonstrators of the various manufactures are also regularly invited to the main headquarters (Japan for Yamaha) to keep them abreast of the latest developments, as well as to provide input for future products.
