Most parents may not know exactly what a smart piano is, but you've definitely seen ads for the smart piano endorsed by Lang Lang.
"Smart piano, used well is a tool, not used well will become a lot of home occupying place, dust props." This is a piano teacher told Tuan Ma, this sentence can more or less reflect the current situation of some smart pianos.
Although it has been on the market for many years, very few parents really understand it.
Parents are not clear about the difference between a smart piano and a traditional piano, and even once thought it was an electronic piano, or a "musical toy";
Cheap smart piano two or three thousand, expensive can be sold to more than two hundred thousand, the price gap is so large, parents also have a lot of doubts about quality;
Seeing the news that children who can play smart pianos can't play traditional pianos scare off a wave of parents.
So is the smart piano really a "musical toy" without any advantages?
Tuan Mama found three smart piano brands with a large number of users in Chengdu to consult and understand in many ways, including the one, Helen piano, and find wisdom piano, hoping to help parents solve some doubts in their hearts.
Find wisdom piano at present in many shopping malls can see the brand's own independent piano classroom, last year the group mother went to evaluate the Renhe New City campus.
The biggest highlight of find smart piano has two aspects:
First, the piano itself does not affect the timbre and the sense of playing touch, on the basis of the traditional piano, there is an additional 4K ultra-high-definition display, and the mac mini system is adopted, that is to say, the traditional piano is attached to the computer attribute;
The second is the teaching curriculum, because of the computer attributes, there will be some different embodiments in the teaching, such as covering a large number of mainstream piano repertoire, online and offline dual-teacher classrooms, intelligent sparring timely correction and so on.
Let's first talk about its 4K ultra-high-definition display, also known as find smart screen. Through the official introduction, the large screen with nearly twenty functional modules is not only displayed, but the interface of "intelligent human-piano interaction", which will redefine learning, playing and appreciation.
For example, AI sparring, not only can correct the pitch, rhythm, but also guide the hand shape, fingering; online courses use dual-channel HD cameras, teachers and students can clearly see each other playing details and facial expressions, just like offline hand-in-hand guidance, AI assist teachers to carry out all-round error correction; teaching resources are also very rich, genuine massive textbook staves, a large number of playing demonstration videos, famous teachers self-study courses, genuine popular songs, one-stop to get it done.
However, although it is a smart piano, it is also equipped with an independent music classroom for piano training. The course is mainly divided into two types, small class classes and playing lessons.
Small class class is 1 to 6, the teacher through the operation of the main teaching piano, you can teach 6 students, the course content is mainly interesting, there are children like to answer the question link, interactive game link, a lesson of 55 minutes; and the playing class is 1 to 2, the main focus is on the child's personalized differences in playing and meticulous teaching, compared to small class lessons are more inclined to traditional courses, a lesson of 40 minutes.
Find all course teaching materials and teaching systems are independently developed by merchants. And after signing up to learn piano in find, you can practice for free at any time, just need to make an appointment in advance from the teacher in the music classroom.
Helen piano this old brand does not need to be repeated too much, at present its intelligent piano has two kinds, one is a common smart electric steel on the market, and the other is their independent research and development of the intelligent piano ibiano1, and this is also the teaching aids used in Helen's intelligent piano classroom.
When this piano was just listed, many people thought that it was a performance of the piano market chasing modern technology, first of all, this ibiano1 is not an electric piano but an acoustic piano, but also has an optical sensing system, can be Bluetooth connection mobile phones, tablets, smart steel has the function of this Helen ibiano1 can basically be realized.
The intelligent system of the piano itself also has sparring, error correction and other functions, and a huge library of music allows students to choose the practice repertoire at will. This piano is also designed with a very practical indicator light for beginners, plus the Shanghai Lun sparring software basically achieves a comprehensive teaching foundation with lights and fingering.
Of course, on the basis of the intelligent piano, Helen also has an independent intelligent piano classroom, and has developed a set of teaching systems specifically for children, using full-color cartoon teaching materials to integrate the cartoon images that children like into the teaching materials and increase the attraction of children to piano learning.
At the same time, it also adopts the "1+1 teaching method", which combines the music enlightenment teaching method and the traditional piano teaching method, and in the form of animation and games, let the children learn and understand the music theory knowledge during the animation viewing process and the clearance game, and then apply the music theory knowledge learned in practice to play the game, so that the piano keys become the keyboard of the game.
Although Helen Smart Piano Classroom is also an independent brand, most of the time it is directly introduced by some piano training institutions, so it is "hidden" in some institutions.
The one is a smart piano brand with a high popularity rate in the current market, but it has always been controversial, and the news of Lang Lang's investment and endorsement in that year has really made the brand's piano a fire.
As a piano, what is the quality of the one itself? The one and many more famous traditional pianos in terms of sound quality is not very different, the one's sound source is from the foreign million-level grand piano, and the touch of the piano keyboard will also produce different effects according to different quality, the so-called penny for a penny.
So what is the one smart piano classroom? In fact, it is based on the intelligent foundation of the one intelligent piano. Specifically, the classroom is equipped with six to nine smart pianos and displays, and their overall controller is a teacher.
The teacher's piano and display screen can control all the children's piano and display screens in the classroom, and then provide collective teaching and one-on-one tutoring to the children through standardized curriculum teaching; when the children practice, the teacher's screen will automatically display the learning status of each child, and the wrong play can be seen, and the children will be feedback and guided in time.
The one course is the introduction of the original American curriculum system, and then according to the different levels of children, the three-stage curriculum of enlightenment, advancement and improvement is arranged, splitting the knowledge points of the examination level, and guiding the children to master music theory, listening to singing and playing skills step by step, and can read and play after class. The textbook also integrates the cartoon story that children like, followed by background music, children can play the little flower game to recognize the keys, and can also play the whole class pk on the flowing stave. Finally, from shallow to deep, the experience class of seeing, singing, listening and playing is used to carry out situational learning and systematic teaching.
However, the one intelligent piano classroom is basically cooperating with institutions at present, and does not have its own independent store.
If you look at it from a smart piano alone, it is not difficult to find that in fact, the biggest difference between them and traditional pianos is that they have a smart display screen, and sparring, error correction, online courses, etc. will be guided by this "screen" to guide students to complete.
But if you look at it from the perspective of the intelligent piano classroom, they are more like a product that makes the traditional teaching materials intelligent, such as the same traditional teaching, there is a song "Old Macdonald" in the textbook, the conventional teaching method is to emphasize the fingering, recognize the staves, and then play, etc., but if you take classes in the smart piano classroom, this song has an animated story, has background music, and when playing, you can also score the child, and the entire teaching content is guided by the teacher, in the auxiliary matching of such intelligent products, so that the classroom is more vivid.
In this way, the tuanma is actually heartwarming, and there is AI sparring, you can also play with online courses, learning to play the piano is not a matter of minutes? But why did some parents tell Tuan Mama that after his children learned the smart piano, they would not play the traditional piano? What should I pay attention to when choosing a smart piano classroom?
With many of these questions in mind, we chatted with professional piano teachers in the industry.
Q: Why is there a problem of playing a smart piano but not a traditional piano?
A: It is true that there are many such problems on the market now, some children who play well can seamlessly connect with traditional pianos, but some do not find a tune when they play traditional pianos.
If the child has this problem, it is mostly caused by the teacher relying too much on the system and not correcting the children's wrong methods in time.
When playing a traditional piano, the importance of gestures will be particularly emphasized, such as the wrist can not be raised, the fingers should be relaxed, the back of the hand should be flat, the fingers should be erect, if the gestures are not in place, there is no way to play the piano, in fact, it is a problem of basic skills, many teachers ignore this.
q: What do you need to pay attention to when choosing a smart piano classroom?
a: In fact, the quality of the smart pianos on the market is not much different, from the texture of the piano itself to the courses developed by each brand are very good, and their biggest difference is in the operation of the teacher for the classroom. If you meet a very serious and responsible teacher, the smart piano classroom is only an auxiliary tool for their class, and the lessons will be very interesting and rewarding, otherwise it may make the students waste time and money, which is why the reputation of the smart piano will be two-level differentiation. Therefore, it is most important to listen to two more lessons and choose a good teacher.
q: What are the advantages and disadvantages of smart pianos?
a: Advantages
With the help of intelligent display, people without piano foundation can easily learn to play music;
The unique playing of the intelligent piano with the lamp allows students to play piano music even if they do not know the score;
Smart pianos generally include hundreds of sounds such as standard timbres, folk music, percussion, drum music, etc., and students can choose according to their own needs and preferences, so as to play interesting or creative music;
Compared with the piano, the price of the smart piano can be more accepted by the general public, and the cheapest one is two or three thousand;
a: Disadvantages
Essentially, a smart piano is not a real piano. The piano is driven by pressing the key down, driving the string hammer in the string tapping machine to strike the strings, and the strings are vibrated by the force and make a sound through the soundboard. The smart piano, on the other hand, presses the key, transmits the signal to the source database, and then emits the sound through the horn. It will have many influences on the cultivation of children's hand shape, sound recognition, and sound sense.
Because the smart piano has a very good function of playing with the lamp, it is difficult for students to learn to read the score. This is not conducive to the study of music theory knowledge and the cultivation of musical literacy.
