Yamaha HD-300 Harmony Director Instructional Keyboard
61-key Instructional Keyboard with FM and AWM Tone Generators, Recording Function Sound Back Time Shift, Rhythm Styles, LCD Display, and iOS Companion App with Remote Control

A revolutionary tool for music education.
The HD-300 Harmony Director from Yamaha combines powerful ear training features with an easy-to-use interface for students and teachers alike. This 61-key instructional keyboard comes pre-loaded with 167 musical examples from the Japan Band Clinic Band Method book to help students develop a sense of pitch, rhythm and ensemble cooperation.

Streamlined Controls Mean More Time Making Music
The HD-300 features large, clearly labelled buttons and an LCD display, allowing students to spend less time navigating the controls and more time practicing. Teachers will appreciate the simplified interface, which makes rehearsal sessions more engaging and efficient. With just a few button presses, you can activate the metronome, change tempos or rhythms, shift between FM and AWM tone generators or transpose to a different key.

Recording Provides Instant Feedback
The HD-300's recording function allows students to listen back to their performances immediately and make improvements. Use the time shift setting to playback recordings at a slower speed, allowing students to detect small errors in pitch or rhythm. This instant feedback helps cement lessons in students' minds so they can continue improving outside of rehearsal.

iOS App Expands Capabilities
Yamaha's free HD-300 Assistant app gives teachers more control over the HD-300 and provides additional tools for student development. Use the app as a standalone tuner to check students' intonation or activate the chord detector to analyze the chord currently playing. The rhythm assistant demonstrates correct rhythm patterns that students can then imitate. With the app, teachers can control the HD-300 from anywhere in the rehearsal space.
