Around the world, concert performance venues are
equipped with many different name brands of concert
pianos used by thousands of professional pianists
performing every different style of music written.
These pianos are built with the many different
scale designs and philosophies, in an effort
to satisfy the many different personalities and styles
of music-play.
Due to the fact that performance venues,
music styles, and musical opinions are so
different between the performing artists, there now is a new
recognizable designation identifying
the many academic institutions that have
committed to giving their students
the closest experience to the "real world" of
piano performance.
We call this the Worldwide Academic Concert
Piano Association.
