Introducing the Yamaha Performance Hub at University of Oregon Portland
Classic Pianos, Yamaha Corporation of America, and the University of Oregon Portland have partnered to create a state-of-the-art Yamaha Hub and performance space on campus, featuring a Yamaha Disklavier DC7XENPRO.

This allows for remote lessons, distance performances, and even virtual piano competitions, bringing musicians together like never before. Stay tuned for exciting events and opportunities at this innovative new hub!

Educators are encouraged to thoughtfully integrate AI to enrich their teaching methods and support diverse learning needs.
