Junior Music Course (Ages 4 & 5, Spring/Fall)
Yamaha created the Junior Music Course (for ages 4 & 5 w/parent) to help children develop musical abilities and creative expression naturally. Young children hear and remember pitch, rhythm and harmonies in much the same way as they learn to walk and talk. The results are a love of music and the development of comprehensive musical abilities, including music reading and keyboard performance. Each semester of this two year program consists of 18 -fifty minute classes. For this course, parent participation in class and at home is required!
