Who is it suitable for?

The tutorial set is suitable for complete beginners right the way through to intermediate/advanced users. The start of this tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of the CVP 400 series Yamaha Clavinova.

The DVD video lesson demonstrations include Clavinova screen images (from the CVP409 model) for your convenience. The spoken word CD audio instruction is clear and at a pace that is easy to follow, with plenty of pauses for you to carry out examples.


The video content of the DVD discs contained within this tutorial set has been produced in NTSC standard. We have opted for this standard to make this tutorial set accessible to keyboard owners across the world.

The majority of PAL DVD players will play NTSC discs without any difficulty at all. If you do find that you cannot view/play the DVD in your DVD player/television, it may be possible to play these in a computer.
