The Yamaha Method

Yamaha offers courses for children starting as young as three. Students benefit from five decades of Yamaha group-teaching development worldwide.  Students listen, move, sing, play, read and experience every aspect of music.  The style and level of instruction is tailored to their ability, age, and development.  As they advance, they study performance, improvisation and composition.
