Participants use the top of the line Clavinova available to date to prepare a performance piece as an accompaniment to a piece of music they love. They then perform their piece for a judge. Whether you're learning to play, enjoy playing for fun, or don't play at all but interested in music and piano, the Clavinova Festival is fun, educational and entertaining! The Clavinova Festival’s youngest participant to date is three and it’s oldest was 94. It's a great way to expand creativity and practice performance habits. Each year, the first place winners have the opportunity to play their pieces live in front of all the Clavinova Festival participants! In the past, we have also had a drawing for a winner of a Yamaha Clavinova (Retailed at $2,999).

*Clavinova Festival is a relaxed, fun event that now takes place every year all over the coutnry! An exciting fact - Over 20 years ago, Jim Foster of Foster Family Music CREATED the Clavinova Festival!*

Not completely sure what it's all about yet? Try checking out some of the songs below that were created for the festival in the past. These students created a background using a CVP Clavinova. Then they played the piano part live on top of their creation! Pretty Cool!
