Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How is Yamaha different from Piano Lessons?

The Yamaha curriculum is a GROUP curriculum and broad compared to traditional private piano lessons. Students sing solfège, play the keyboard, sing songs with lyrics, move to music, play rhythm and keyboard ensembles and participate in music appreciation activities in group setting class.
They develop diverse musical skills without prematurely focusing on one instrument or style. This approach allows students to choose their future musical path when they are more physically and mentally mature. Yamaha students are often leaders in school orchestra, band, and choir programs.

Q. How is Yamaha different from Other Programs?

Most music programs share a common goal to introduce students to the joy of music making. The Yamaha Music School is unique because:

Teachers: Our faculty has a genuine commitment to teaching beginning musicians and are certified by Yamaha through extensive training and rigorous exams

Play: Performance opportunities are available in a wide variety of settings, from recitals to national or international concerts
Curriculum: Materials include books, CD’s, DVD’s and other materials that combine decades of experience with the most recent research in music education
