A Smart Piano That Teaches You to Play in Minutes - with The ONE’s GM of International Ariel Liu

The Harbinger - China Tech & VC Podcast

Today we host a Skype call with Ariel Liu, who is the general manager of international growth at The ONE Smart Piano. The ONE develops smart musical instruments, including its flagship digital piano solution with a smart keyboard, associated mobile apps, and other services that can teach anyone to play the piano within minutes. We’ll learn more about how the ONE’s piano solution works, how they were able to raise venture funding from top investors such as Sequoia, and how the ONE piano became a best-seller in both China and abroad so quickly. The ONE has bigger aspirations to build an entire ecosystem around the piano and other musical instruments, so we’ll learn about how they’ll incorporate students, teachers, and parents into this environment, while addressing key pain points of the educational system in China.
