Learn and refine keyboard logistics for playing in healthcare facilities. Students and graduates will benefit from 10 years of best practices gathered by Cliff Conti, CMP, as well as his new experiences in the world of COVID-19.

Navigating your instrument for quality music sessions in healthcare surroundings
Proven piano keyboards, cases and carts designed especially for use in bedside therapeutic music, tried and tested in the field for over 10 years
Quality sounding instruments and size
Ways to simplify the setup routines necessary in getting a quality instrument in and out of the car and into the facility
How to avoid looking like a stage performance rig
Ideas to softly enter and exit the bedside visits with the least amount of noise and disruption, enhancing the quality of the patient experience

Cleaning the instrument and cart, so very necessary now. Learn about various cleaning wipes that have been tested and used every week for over 3 years without harming the piano
Portable powered speakers and microphone to play outside of facilities during COVID-19 restrictions

Take away: In addition to the webinar recording, Cliff will email all attendees a DIY manual for making your own battery and charger setup to allow you to simply plug in to play and charge without using a facility wall outlet. The plan can also be assembled by a battery supplier.
