I have not really worked out the right microphone choice yet, but I would say don't bother with going wireless. I assume when playing and singing you will never be far from your piano? Unless you are planning on going with a headworn system, having a mic cable shoudn't be very bothersome.

As far as headphones go it comes down to quality preference. I infrequently use headphones so I am happy with the headphones that came with the starter pack. I also have a pair of Bose headphones that I would bet would sound nice. Just pick something that feels comfortable and sounds good to you for the amount of time that you plan on wearing them.

Hi

Use a dynamic microphone, the clavinova has a good pre-amp build in it.
to avoid feedback problems etc. go for an unidirectional mic (captures the sound in front of the mic) opposed to an omnidirectional mic (captures the sound in a sphere around the mic)

As far as I know,The clavinova does not feed phantom power (48Volt) with condenser microphones need to work.

Kind regards

Eric
