A New AI-Powered Smart Piano Is Revolutionizing How To Improve Your Life With Music
There are countless reasons why learning to play the piano is good for you. For children, learning an instrument is proven to speed brain development, grow confidence, and foster creative thinking. For adults, learning the piano opens doors to new challenges and personal growth, and playing music can be one of the healthiest and most powerful ways to relieve stress. For older adults, learning piano or another instrument can help stave off dementia and even increase recovery time after falls.
But alongside the benefits, there are just as many challenges that make learning to play piano a frustrating experience that, frankly, most people give up on. At least 50 percent (some say as many as 85 percent) of students who begin to learn a music instrument quit within 2 years. Among adults, countless keyboards purchased with the best of intentions end up gathering dust, sadly joining the ranks of unused exercise bikes and unread self-help books.
Enter Polaro, a new AI-powered keyboard that’s poised to completely transform how people learn and play the piano. The 88-key smart piano comes with a full-size touchscreen display and a built-in computer that will teach you all you need to know. Built with its own unique operating system, PianoOS, Polaro features apps that turn learning the piano and practicing regularly into a fun game — or even a meditative experience.
Traditional methods of learning the piano present frustrating barriers like having to read music, not knowing where to start, no visibility into if you’re even making progress, and boredom. With Polaro, you can be learning and playing your first song in less than 5 days and mastering more complex pieces (or even composing your own) within a year.
Polaro’s revolution in music learning comes from its advanced adaptive keyboard and AI-enhanced software, which reads your every keystroke and assesses it in real time. Polaro’s AI music instructor monitors your progress and detects whenever you’re getting stuck to keep you moving forward before frustration kicks in. The system adapts with suggestions to help you master whatever area is challenging you the most, whether that’s finger positioning, tempo, certain chord arrangements, or a number of other learning areas.
In addition to Polaro’s interactive on-board and AI-based learning systems, Polaro also gives you access to its growing community of skilled music teachers. With the piano’s built-in screen and camera, Polaro’s network of instructors can provide you with real-time video lessons from anywhere in the world at the click of a button.
All these features combine to form a wholly innovative approach to learning and playing the piano that’s grounded in both cutting-edge technology and a deep human understanding of how and why we make music.
Polaro is the latest venture from the established tech entrepreneur Alex Iceman, who has founded a number of companies that use emerging technology to solve complex problems. Among other successes, Alex is the founder and CEO of Genium, the Silicon Valley-based tech services firm that specializes in areas like computer vision and more. Iceman clearly brings the visionary background and connections to enable groundbreaking software like Polaro’s PianoOS.
But for Alex, Polaro isn’t just about the technical challenge of how advanced interactive systems can help kids and adults learn the piano more quickly. For him, Polaro’s mission is intensely personal.
“Long before I was starting software companies, I was playing the piano,” says Alex. “I’ve been playing since I was 4 years old. The piano made me smarter — it helped me get into the best college, to learn foreign languages, to build a neuroplasticity that I still benefit from today. But more importantly, it was the piano — and music — that connected me to some of the kindest people I’ve ever met.”
Alex created Polaro because he believes that musicians — from amateurs who are just learning, to professionals who devote their lives to playing — share the invaluable characteristics of empathy and compassion. The piano can unlock a kindness in humanity that our world needs more of right now.
“I’m on a mission to enable as many people as possible to play music to make this world a better place,” Alex says. “Music improves your life, and that has a ripple effect on everyone around you, too. Polaro is going to open doors to a better future for all of us.”
Polaro recently made its debut in Times Square in New York City and is now available for pre-order with a fully refundable deposit. Early adopters may also be invited to participate in earlier test phases to grow and perfect this revolutionary system for learning music.
