THE OPTIONS ARE LIMITLESS
LEARN TO PLAYBy connecting your Story & Clark piano to your
laptop’s USB port, you can access the Internet and choose from
hundreds of software programs designed to teach you to play. Now
you can learn at your own pace, when it’s convenient for you and in
the privacy of your own home. What could be easier?
COMPOSE MUSIC You can compose everything from simple songs to
multi-track arrangements using PNOscan along with sequencing
software.
PRACTICE AND RECORDStudents can record their practice sessions
and play them back on their computer. Hear your child’s improvement
over time, monitor their practice even if you were out while they
played, or submit practice sessions to their piano teacher for
review. You can even record family and friends and make your own
CDs!
EMAIL YOUR PERFORMANCESEmail performances to the grandparents,
friends or your piano teacher using your laptop.
PRINT SHEET MUSICOur digitized keystrokes can easily be
converted to standard music notation and printed out using your
computer and printer.
ENTERTAIN AND EDUCATE YOUR KIDSPiano software especially
designed for young children, such as MiDisaurus and Piano Wizard,
incorporate games and activities that make learning fun.
Story & Clark pianos are the smart answer to musical
versatility because unlike digital pianos that quickly become
obsolete after you buy them, Story & Clark pianos are instantly
and easily “upgradeable” because there’s no hardware involved. The
“hardware” resides on your computer so every time you upgrade your
computer, you’ve upgraded the digital part of your piano.
PRACTICE IN SILENCEWith PNOscan, you now have the flexibility to
practice in complete privacy without disturbing others. With the
simple addition of a stop rail, your sound module allows you to
practice in silence using headphones.
PLAY OTHER INSTRUMENTSYou can use your piano to “play” other
instruments along with the piano just by adding a sound module. Add
a stop rail and you can even eliminate the piano sounds and isolate
the performance of various individual instruments.
PNOscan interfaces with standard music hardware for even more
options. Instead of your computer, you can also connect your Story
& Clark piano to a sound module and you’ll have all the magic
of MIDI at your fingertips. This is great news for performing
musicians because now you don’t have to sacrifice the touch and
feel of playing on an acoustic piano to get all the benefits and
features of a digital piano. Being able to interface with the
digital world makes Story & Clark acoustic pianos studio and
stage ready to easily record performances, layer sounds and enhance
creativity.

recording your family and friends playing. Better yet, you can save

Clark piano is about a lot more than just fun, it’s a great tool
for learning as well. Students can record their practice sessions

their practice when you’re away or even submit practice sessions to
their piano teacher for review by saving it on a CompactFlash card
and emailing it. Add a few other accessories and you can do even
more. With a sound card you can add the sound of other instruments
under your piano playing. And with a stop rail, soundcard and
headphones, you can practice in silence.
