Children's Programs 
I think it's a great method. When I was taking piano lessons as a kid, I don't think I learned nearly as rapidly or as comprehensively, and have since forgotten almost everything of my training from the early years. The whole ear training that Yamaha does - the approach to singing music first and actually hearing the music with the CD. It is a very integrated approach. I've been shocked at how rapidly the kids have been learning. -Michelle Cicolo, Lexington, MA
The one thing that the teachers have shown is a tremendous flexibility in order to meet the needs of the kids. They are very involved, very knowledgeable, and have a great way to work with the kids. That's not something that everyone has; someone can be a great player, a great musician, but working with the kids requires a different mindset, and the teachers here are very well-prepared and work with the kids in ways that they can learn. - Ed Lopez, Marlborough, MA
Looking back on the past two years, I really see the progress and the development. I'm not a pianist, so I can say that everything thatJennifer is today is really attributed to what she learned at the Yamaha School. The technique works, the singing - after two years, I know it was a very important and critical part of it. And the listening - becase just after a few months, Jennifer would sometimes hear a song outside of the Yamaha book, and she'll start saying,"Mommy, this is in G Major." And I'm thinking, "How did you know that?" And it was through the approach. So I'm very convinced, a strong believer. - Joy Murphy, Woburn, MA
My daughter loves the music and activities in the Junior Music Course (JMC) class...Speaking as a music educator with extensive teaching experiences, I am convinced that the JMC is highly effective in introducing the world of music to young children, while providing an enjoyable, enriching, and well-rounded musical training. As a parent, I want my child to develop her music potential and cultivate a life-long appreciation and love for music. I would not hesitate to encourage parents to enroll their children in the Yamaha program." Patricia Ooi Englehardt, Ph.D.
Adult Programs
"Thank you for your support. I am enjoying the class immensely. It is just what I need. I am using the course to work on a couple of areas: ear training to improve my general musical facility and my hand-based fine motor skills."
"I am enjoying the class... particularly because you are treating us like adults and doing your best to be sensitive to our individual sensitivities."
