As many of you have noticed, the CVP Users Group is now offering Simon Smith's "Clavinova Made Easy" tutorials. Of all the tutorials that are available on the market, I selected this set for sale on this web site for a couple of reasons.
First, I am a big BIG fan of "usability!" Those video-based tutorials, in my opinion, are too distracting. They're great for demos, and can show you (or your friends!) what your CVP can do. But they're not very good at helping you LEARN how to use your CVP -- some people don't even have a TV in the same room as their piano. These audio CDs give you the information you need without making you take your eyes off of your instrument. They're interactive and VERY user friendly.
Second, if you own a CVP, you've certainly enjoyed the quality of your instrument. These audio tutorials are of the same high quality that you'd expect to be associated with the CVP and with this CVP Users Group. (Well, let's face it -- I wouldn't put MY name on a crappy product!)
So, I contacted the publisher and worked out an arrangement that makes the CVP Users Group the exclusive distributor for these tutorials in North America. The procedes from these tutorials help to keep the CVPUG a free-subscription service for you all. People outside North America are welcome to purchase this product from this web site, and the proceeds help us out there, too.
I hope you enjoy this set of tutorials. It's an amazing product for the price -- you get 7 full-lenth audio CDs with a complete lesson plan. That's over 7 hours of detailed instruction that you can pause, review, and skip through over and over again. I highly recommend it.
