Piano Labs
Piano Learning Labs
Collaborative learning is a cutting-edge approach to piano pedagogy that takes advantage of positive peer pressure, strategic scoring and instant feedback to help piano lessons students learn up to 60% faster than students who study in a more traditional way. With the right technology and curriculum, music teachers can maximize their students' lessons time with whole-group, small-group and individual activities that can be controlled from a simple, intuitive "remote." Teachers can also connect smart phones, tablets, computers, etc. to provide "live" play-a-long experiences or to record individual lectures and/or student performances. Even better, the entire lab system is designed to be modular and customizable - scalable to any classroom size or budget. Whatever your pedagogical goals, a custom piano lab from Riverton Piano Company can help you achieve incredible classroom outcomes in record time.

We look forward to working with you!

Internal Funding
In today's economic climate, it's more important than ever that educators take charge of their program's financial future... and we are here to help! Here is a partial list of our proven, turnkey programs to help you raise the money you need!
- Key Donors
Divide your lab cost by 88 (since pianos have 88 keys) and encourage parents, PTO members, administrators and even student groups to "Donate a Key"! For example, a $30,000 piano lab costs just $341 per key. Create a poster to write the names of each donor on their respective keys. Then, when you purchase the lab, Riverton will provide you with a FREE brass plaque to honor your "Key Donors."
- Roland Raffle
Pick a Roland digital piano to raffle off at your school and raise money for your lab fast! All you and your students have to do is (as an example) sell 220 $150 raffle tickets and you'll raise $30,000 for your lab AND give away a FREE piano to one lucky raffle ticket holder! The program is fun, simple and perfect for the local press.
- Piano Legacy
As a tribute to family members or beloved friends, members of your alumni may wish to donate money for an entire piano! We will work with them to develop a commemorative plaque to be permanently attached to the new instrument.
- Kids for Keys
Host a "practice-a-thon" at your school. For every $20 pledged, one of your students will agree to practice for one half hour. If one teacher gets 50 students to participate and each student gets 10 sponsors, you will raise $10,000 in one half hour of solid practice time.
