However, when playing at home, many people likely worry, "Am I bothering my neighbors?"

Therefore, in collaboration with Kanade Room, we conducted a survey titled 'Homes with Pianos - Housing Concerns for Child-Rearing Households,' targeting 81 men and women nationwide who, in a preliminary survey, answered that they 'play the piano or have their children learning piano.'
