Clavfest is a fun, rewarding experience where students work with their teachers to perform a song on the Yamaha Clavinova utilizing one or more features of the Clavinova—no piano only sound is allowed! Students will often choose to use the automatic rhythm, layer and sequence their own fun background music, or use commercial software to enhance their selection. A special concert is held for the student to perform their selection.
