Age 3 is the ideal time to start

In this program for 3-year-olds, children not only listen to and sing songs from various genres while visualizing imagery but also have fun playing the piano with playful elements integrated into the lessons. We highly recommend starting this journey at age 3 for families who wish for their children to cherish music as a lifelong treasure and aspire for them to become proficient musicians.

Skills that go beyond music

In addition to mastering keyboard skills, children cultivate “non-cognitive skills” such as cooperation, social skills, perseverance, and concentration through Yamaha’s lessons.

Music for life

Over three years, children explore more than 140 songs using Yamaha’s unique four-step method: Listening, Singing, Playing, and Reading. Through engaging piano activities, they build essential musical skills, express themselves creatively, and develop a lifelong enjoyment of music.

Developing personal imagery and self-expression

What are 4 and 5-year-olds like?

4 and 5-year-olds are in a phase of “increasing self-expression.” By engaging in activities such as listening to, singing, and playing music during this stage, children are exposed to a wide variety of high-quality music. This is the ideal time for them to cultivate a rich imagination.
