Teachers motivate and guide students using excellent materials and Yamaha's systematic approach to keyboard playing. Music Skills Development is the main focus of the YMC. Though a variety of activities, each student is able to experience and enjoy: ear training, singing, solo repertoire, ensemble playing, keyboard and music theory.
The keyboards Keyboards are used as the learning tool in the Young Music Course. These Yamaha digital instruments produce an incredible variety of sounds. This motivates the students and expands their musical horizons- whether they are playing solo or in an ensemble. A keyboard instrument is required at home for practice.

Timely Education
YMC is a tailor-made for children 6-8 year old. Research by the Yamaha Music Foundation shows that although the ear develops more quickly at a very early age, six to eight year old have rapidly developing ears and finger muscles.
