Mozart Piano - A piano with a touch display

This is the Mozart Piano. It’s the first piano with a touch display.



This is my vision for what I believe a 21st century piano could become. As a long-time member of the music community, I listened to the pain points of different musician groups about their experience today and made a strong effort to solve their problems in order to create a global and vibrant community.

Here are some advantages of the Mozart Piano:

> Teachers could host live lessons.
No extra technology needed. Rather than setting up a tablet on the side and sending raw audio, imagine playing with your student at the same time where you listen to each other’s playing as if you’re next to each other.

With the Mozart Piano you could host live lessons, share exercises, and play with each other at the same time.



> You could find, read and edit sheet music easier than ever.
It’s time to move away from paper sheets. Tablets are OK, but being limited to a single sheet at a time is not cool.

With the Mozart Piano, you can view up to 3 sheets at once. You can find and download any sheet instantly. And the sheets you own - you can create copies to edit them, add comments, and send them easily to others.



> Beginners and ongoing musicians need a consistent way to learn on their own.
Learning the piano today is hard - there’s too many resources out there. It’s tough to decide how to start and what to follow.

With the Mozart Piano and its consistent course-exercise format, you could have access to a large collection of learning material. Learn your favorite movie score, a music genre like Jazz, or specific exercises like chords or scales.



> Music creators could make music in an immersive and intuitive way - right at their piano.
Musicians could create beats, melodies and full songs fun and easy. You could utilize loops, layers, effects, and various sounds to create your music right at the piano - no complicated setup necessary. And those who like uploading their recordings to YouTube, the Mozart Piano could have the editing and publishing process much simpler for you!

** Best of all - As your Mozart Piano ages, it doesn’t become junk. It becomes better over time with free software updates that give you added features as we continue coming up with new ideas. This is just the beginning - and with software, the opportunities are endless.



If you believe in this vision as much as I do, consider supporting the project! We have a live crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. In exchange for a contribution, we’ll send you some cool gifts as a way of saying thanks.

Your contribution does two things:
1. In the short term, the funds help us continue our product development; and
2. More importantly, the total amount we raise serves as evidence for the demand of this awesome piano, so we’ll be able to go to investors in order to raise the funds needed to bring this to market!

Thanks for listening. Contribute today!

I don't see any innovation in the hardware/software here, everything mentioned already exists so why would your product be better than what already can be bought or found for free?

You also do not tell us what you are developing. Is it the digital piano? Is it the tablet type computer? Is it the software? Are you absolutely doing everything single thing at once? Do I need to explain how ridiculous that is? lol.

You do not present us with any evidence that you have the technical know how or qualifications to build digital pianos, tablet display computers nor the software required to run it all. You don't even have a team to do any of this and you ask people for money? Stupid fools with too many $ and not enough sense might help you.

I love how part of their campaign is that you can record and put your files into pretty little coloured synthesia style videos that you can upload straight away...

RIGHT... that's the LAST thing YouTube needs - MORE *** Synthesia videos.

I'm hoping this will fizzle and fail spectacularly. As a piano teacher, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone...

...literally no-one.

Skype can pretty much do that. This seems redundant. A lot of people have tried doing simultaneous and instantaneous recording, and sometimes with a host of errors and timing delays.

> You could find, read and edit sheet music easier than ever.

That's idiotic. That's what books are for. Sheet music has been easy enough to read for 300 years or more.

With the Mozart Piano, you can view up to 3 sheets at once. You can find and download any sheet instantly. And the sheets you own - you can create copies to edit them, add comments, and send them easily to others.

I can already do that with Forescore... what's your point?

> Beginners and ongoing musicians need a consistent way to learn on their own. Learning the piano today is hard - there’s too many resources out there. It’s tough to decide how to start and what to follow.

How the hell is learning the piano hard??? I teach students as small as 5 years old and even they have a grasp on how to read basic notation. Watching a bunch of bars float down towards a keyboard (like Synthesia) is quite possibly the WORST way to try and teach someone. A good teacher provides the right resources to every student on a personal basis. I'm not going to recommend Bastien Piano for Young Beginners to a 30-year old student.

With the Mozart Piano and its consistent course-exercise format, you could have access to a large collection of learning material. Learn your favorite movie score, a music genre like Jazz, or specific exercises like chords or scales.

AHHHH... so it's not that there's too many resources out there - you want people to try and use YOUR resources... gotcha. How long to you think it will be before they try and monetise that like in-app purchases.

Thanks for listening. Contribute today!

Hell no.

Well, I'd say too bad. 2 weeks ago, they only had 9% of the money they need to get the goal off the ground, and now (with only 6 days left), they still only have...

9%. It ain't happening, plus it's a rather ridiculous machine and I knew it was going to fail.
