Class Content
01
Lyric Singing
Children greet one another and the teacher through a simple, repeatable melody that opens every class with the same comforting routine.
02
Repertoire Playing
Students listen to short musical phrases and sing them back, training the ear before the eye — the foundation of natural musicianship.
03
Instrument & Rhythm Ensemble
Clapping, stepping and swaying to the beat helps children internalize rhythm physically, long before they can name it.
04
Music Reading
Guided time at the keyboard lets each child explore sound and touch, building finger independence in a playful, low-pressure setting.
05
Keyboard Play
Small-group activities encourage children to listen to each other, take turns, and experience the joy of making music together.
06
Harmony & Musical Arrangement
Each class closes with a gentle farewell melody, giving children a sense of completion and something familiar to look forward to next time.
Unique to Yamaha, which further improves their musical skills Lessons that combine "group" and "individual"
In addition to the experience that can be done because it is a group lesson,
in individual lessons we provide detailed guidance to individuals, especially in keyboard performance.
Group lesson
- You can play music with your friends and share the joy.
- We will play at the same tempo as our friends, listen to each other's sounds, and accumulate experiences that can only be done in a group.
- Through the opportunity to present in class, "I want to do my best too!" Motivation and aggressiveness are nurtured.
Private lesson
- We will provide performance guidance and score reading guidance according to each individual.
- With detailed support tailored to each person, we will lead to more fulfilling group lessons.
- Through the repertoire that can be selected according to the progress, we will nurture the feeling of "I want to play more".

Age
New Primary Course welcomes children ages 3 to 5. Music exploration begins early, while little ears, voices, and imaginations are most open to absorbing new sounds — much like a first language.

Each level runs roughly one year, with an informal sharing for parents at the close of each semester. Children typically move through several levels of New Primary Course before advancing into Junior Music Course (JMC).

One parent or guardian attends every class alongside their child. At this age, a familiar voice and presence in the room is what lets a child relax, play, and absorb music naturally — the bond built in class carries home into daily life.

Children take part in a relaxed class showcase at the end of each semester — a low-pressure first taste of performing for family and friends that builds confidence well before the spotlight feels like pressure.
Draft copy — new section, please confirmClass Format
Classes are taught in small groups, typically 6–8 children with a parent alongside each one. Learning music together — not alone — builds skills like listening, turn-taking, and ensemble awareness that one-on-one lessons can't offer on their own.
- Small group setting (approx. 6–8 children)
- One parent/guardian per child
