Yamaha Music Education Centre (Carnegie)



Yamaha Music Education Centre (Carnegie)

Yamaha provides a unique method of teaching music that allows everyone, from children aged from 3 to 7, to learn music in a consistent education system within a group environment, and students aged 8 and above to partake in private lessons.

While Yamaha's approach is learning through enjoyment, the underlying focus is on the development of the knowledge and skills necessary to provide the means for self-expression and to foster a deep appreciation of music. Beginner courses achieve this through the development of a range of fundamental musical skills. These building blocks of music include pitch, melody, harmony, rhythm, tone colour and musical form.
