    VOCAL FUNDAMENTAL COURSE

    Yamaha's Unique Program

    1. Lesson materials

    Printed material + Streaming audio

    Yamaha’s unique curriculum has been designed with the philosophy of wanting everyone to enjoy music. Our instruction is based around original curriculum and teaching materials we’ve developed through more than 60-years’ experience. We also offer realistic audio accompaniment developed exclusively for our lessons that you can sing along with, like live performances, as well as home practice.

    2. Wide variety of lesson styles

    Individual, group, and online lessons

    Our lesson formats are tailored to the course, from group lessons* where you can relax with your fellow students having the same interests and enjoy ensemble playing, as well as individual lessons that progress according to your personal wishes and goals, and online lessons where you can receive instruction without going to the lesson venue (suitable online environment required). * Group lessons are held with an appropriately small number of students

    4. Concert

    We hold special presentations and events for each classroom and course as an opportunity for you to demonstrate the skills you’ve gained in the lessons. The pleasantly tense excitement of the performance and the sense of fulfillment it gives are invaluable. * The presentations may not be held depending on the particular classroom or course.

    VOCAL FUNDAMENTAL COURSE

    For those who want to enjoy singing casually, or learn basic techniques

    Beginning with fundamental vocal training, we give you the tools to develop various singing techniques. In order to be able to express music rhythmically, you can develop a sense of rhythm and acquire a set of comprehensive skills, which gives you increasing confidence in your singing. The lesson songs you work on begin with arrangements that are easy to sing, and are designed to become more advanced, step-by-step, as you learn the skills—getting you to fully enjoy practicing along with accompaniment data.
