Foundation for Blind Children

Rollie Hudson plays a tune while Clayton Peterson looks on

The Yamaha Piano Division recently donated a Clavinova digital piano to the students at the Foundation for Blind Children (FBC) in Phoenix, AZ. The Clavinova with its state of the art technology will give blind students a great advantage in composing, performing, and arranging music.

Rollie Hudson, a Piano Division Keyboard Consultant and 25-year Yamaha employee says, “The keyboard will allow student performers to use specialized computer programs to compose music.” Hudson knows of what he speaks - he himself is blind. Rollie, along with Glenn Gray, handle an array of questions received through the Clavinova Information line (1-800-PRO-YAMAHA) from salespeople and consumers about Clavinova digital pianos.
