Piano Lab Pro: The Science of Stage Presence

Event Registration

Join the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance for the premiere of Piano Lab Pro – a new Apple Vision Pro app that helps musicians understand and manage performance anxiety through immersive extended reality. Developed in partnership with the Center for Academic Innovation (CAI) and the Institute for Social Research (ISR), the app and its accompanying research are entering U-M’s class piano curriculum.

The afternoon features a live demonstration, a look at the biofeedback research behind it, and remarks from SMTD Dean David Gier, ISR Director Kate Cagney, and CAI Chief Technology Officer Jeremy Nelson.
