FREE TRIAl lESSONS
The best way to understand Yamaha’s approach towards Music Education
is to come to a Free Trial Lesson. This lesson is run in a similar way to our
classes with lots of fun musical activities including singing songs, learning
the musical language of solfege, listening and moving to music, plus playing
the instrument.
You will have the opportunity to talk with our teachers about your child’s
needs and see the benefits for your child to learn music in a group class.
Free Trial Lessons are conducted throughout the year at a range of different
locations. Bookings are essential as places fill quickly.
WORkShOPS
We hold regular Holiday Workshops for our Popular Music Courses. These
include guitar and drum sessions where children can come and try both
instruments in one session. The Workshops are free and are a fun way to
spend some time over the holidays. Parents are not required to attend but
are welcome to join in at the end of the class to see their child perform and
meet the teachers.
Visit our website to find out more about upcoming Workshops and Events.
SChOOl CONCERTS
All classes participate in our annual school concert, where audiences
see a wide variety of course levels performed and children learn valuable
performance skills and self-confidence. Concerts provide an exciting milestone
for the children as well as an opportunity to hear older soloists perform.
SOlO FESTIvAlS
Regular solo festivals are held regularly throughout the year giving
performing opportunities for students from class or private lessons.
JUNIOR ORIGINAl CONCERT (JOC)
Encouraging original composition is one of the unique elements of the
Yamaha Music Education System. Regular JOC activities are held at class,
local and national levels. Each year there is also the opportunity for students
to represent Australia in regional Asian Pacific Junior Original Concert
(APJOC) or International Junior Original Concert (IJOC) events.
