Yamaha’s “Timely Education” Fosters the Development of Skills During Optimal Growth Period
Age 3 is the ideal time to begin music education, as children are naturally imaginative and eager to express themselves. Yamaha’s Primary 1 Course is designed to nurture this stage of development by engaging children in singing and listening to a variety of music genres while incorporating playful elements into piano lessons. This early start helps children build a deep, joyful connection to music. Rather than focusing solely on technical skills, Yamaha emphasizes expressive, stress-free playing that encourages children to develop their own musical style and emotional connection to sound.
