We welcome Second Graders thru Adults!
Why not younger? Yamaha's Group Music Education has been available in the US for nearly 75 years, as our center was the first in the Eastern US region. Explore our unparalleled group lessons from Pre-school to First Grade that set the tone for a lifelong future of private instruction. For those students under Second Grade, please find more information in our group class section.
Private lessons provide focused, one-on-one instruction, while guiding students to develop their unique talents at their own pace. Lessons establish a solid foundation in theory, repertoire and polished technique. Students are exposed to a variety of musical concepts and skills while being inspired to achieve their goals. Each student is paired with a faculty member who assesses needs and guides students toward achieving their goals.
