Learning is natural …

Yamaha music courses continue along the natural learning path children have followed since birth, similar to the way they learned to walk and talk. Young children hear and remember musical pitchers, rhythm patterns and harmonies, much the same as they hear and store language skills. Learning the Yamaha style is based on our knowledge of the physical and psychological development of children taking full advantage of their sense of hearing, which is at its prime at a surprisingly early age.

The Natural Process includes:

Listening: Children hear the musical pattern

Imitating: Children reproduce the musical pattern

Seeing: Children see how the pattern is notated and read
