Yamaha Yamaha Music Lab, LC3 manual Positioning of Instruments in Classroom

Step 1: Positioning of Instruments in Classroom

1.With input from the instructor, determine where instruments will be placed. Some teachers want to see student hand positions in keyboard labs. Others want all students facing forward.

2.Determine the numbering system for instruments. The student buttons on the CONTROLLER are labeled 1-8 left-to-right. It might be helpful to arrange students in that order from the teacher’s perspective. (See illustration below)

3.Determine where cable and power cords are to be run. If possible, avoid places where students would walk over cables. If cables will run across the floor, determine one spot where the cables from each row of instruments will run. Obtain cord covers (from a hardware store) to cover the cables so students don’t trip.

4.Place instruments in position.
