WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO
BRING A CHILD TO MUSIC?
Between the ages of 3 and 8 the major
development of the ear occurs. This is also the
age when a child is eager and receptive to
learning through imitation and participation.
Years of experience have proven that the prime
time for tuning the ear to the understanding
and lifelong enjoyment of music is during these
early years. Through our programs the young
child learns all the principles of music - relative
pitch, notation, melody, harmony, and rhythm -
all in an atmosphere that is nurturing,
rewarding, and fun.

HOW DID THE YAMAHA MUSIC
EDUCATION SYSTEM BEGIN?
The Yamaha courses began in the mid-1950s
in Japan under the direction of Mr. Gen’ichi
Kawakami, the president of Nippon-Gakki
Company, Ltd. (now called Yamaha
Corporation). Mr. Kawakami believed his
company was responsible not only for making a
quality product, but also for teaching customers
how to use the product. Consequently, he
established the non-profit Yamaha Music
Foundation (YMF) in 1966 for the purpose of
developing and promoting music education and
music popularization activities internationally.
YMF guides the development of the Yamaha
Music Education System in 41 countries.

between parent, child, and teacher develops.
Together we explore the world of music in class
so that you and your child can continue this
adventure at home. Our homework

HOW DO WE GO ABOUT IT?
Through the ear, the voice, the fingers, and the
mind, music becomes part of the real world of
each child. We provide the necessary tools,
guidance, and support to encourage you and
your child to form a learning partnership where
natural musical abilities can flourish, where
children can be creative, and where the solid
foundation for a lifetime with music is built.
The time to begin is while the child's ear is
receptive to the sounds which make up music.
Creative teachers, using the guidelines and
techniques developed over the years by
Yamaha, can give your child the right start in
music through our music fundamentals course.
