DEDICATED TEACHERS

Yamaha teachers are eager to work with both children and parents. They are committed to provide rewarding musical experiences for students. These rigorously trained musicians have passed demanding tests in musicianship and performance skills while also receiving training by the Yamaha Music Education System.​

​

UPON COMPLETION​

Once your child has completed the Junior Music Course, he or she will take part in a "Fundamental Skills Survey" to confirm his or her musical achievement. Teachers refer to these results to place students in the proper advanced courses of study such as the Junior Extension Course and Junior Advanced Course. As these students develop advanced musical skills, they are encouraged to perform and compose their own music through programs such as the "Junior Original Concert." 

​

Yamaha has invested over 50 years of music education research in dozens of countries throughout the world.
