Approximately 49% of people who play piano at home report 'restrictions'; what do those who have searched for piano-friendly properties prioritize?

■ Life with a piano and housing concerns

Piano remains a consistently popular extracurricular activity for children.

However, when it comes to playing at home, many people likely worry about whether they are disturbing their neighbors.

Therefore, in collaboration with Kanaderoom, we conducted a survey on "Living with a Piano - Housing Concerns for Parenting Households," targeting 81 men and women nationwide who previously indicated that they play the piano or have children who are learning to play.
