Recreational music-making program previewed at Artist Pianos

Artist Pianos will offer a free preview of Clavinova Connection at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 19 at 4181 Transit Road, Transitown Plaza.

The Clavinova Connection is a group-based experience for adults that enables anyone to play music they’ve always loved on the very first day. Each Clavinova Connection session includes a wellness exercise, a keyboard drum circle, an opportunity to improvise and a “song of the day.” Recent research using the Clavinova Connection shows that music making can reverse the DNA switches that can trigger the human stress response.

Clavinova Connection Classes for Western New York are offered on Tuesdays, from 1 to 2 p.m. and Saturdays, from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.

Rather than emphasizing musical performance or mastery, this innovative program enables participants, regardless of prior musical experience, to creatively express themselves in a multifaceted group activity.
