Yamaha Music Group Courses

Yamaha Music Education System (YMES)

Designed to provide music enjoyment in the most positive learning environment, Yamaha group classes teach basic music knowledge through the Listen, Sing, Play, Read, Create method in a group setting. Rhythm and musicianship skills are best learned in a group where students are motivated by their peers and have access to a full range of touch-sensitive keys to develop artistic ability. Yamaha group lessons encourage improvisation and creativity. Most importantly, group lessons are lots of fun!
