Former DIO Keyboardist CLAUDE SCHNELL Interviewed By 'Good Time Metal Oldies' (Video)

January 12, 2011

On December 3, 2010, Jason Saulnier of the "Good Time Metal Oldies" radio show conducted an interview with former DIO keyboardist Claude Schnell. You can now watch the chat below.

"Good Time Metal Oldies" airs Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. EST on CIFA 104.1 FM in Nova Scotia and Tuesday nights at 7:00 p.m. EST on Pure Rock Radio.

MI's Keyboard Technology Program last year announced the appointment of Claude Schnell as Artist-in-Residence. Claude conducted small, informal open counseling-style songwriting classes with an emphasis on a holistic approach. He also made himself available for one-on-one counseling on a limited, appointment-only basis.

Claude Schnell is a world-renowned keyboardist and composer best known for his work with superstar vocalist Ronnie James Dio and widely acknowledged as one of the original architects of multi-keyboard techniques for hard rock and heavy metal music. As a member of the legendary group DIO, Claude's mastery of both classical and progressive styles helped redefine a genre traditionally dominated by the guitar.
