What is Yamaha Music Education System (YMES)?

Designed to meet the unique needs and developmental stages of each age group, Yamaha Music Education System develops each student’s comprehensive musical ability in an environment that inspires a love of music and a lifetime of active music participation.

Yamaha develops children’s musical skills with three fundamental principles that are often neglected in traditional music classes:

Timely Education: The internationally acclaimed curriculum is formulated based on the natural physiological development of a child.

Group Lessons: Students are able to experience the importance of group music activities like ensemble and to learn with discipline among fellow students

An Emphasis on Creativity: Improvisation and composition are core subjects in latter part of the curriculum. Students are encouraged to experiment with making their own music even at the beginning of the courses.
