🎶 What the Yamaha New Primary Course Is
The New Primary Course is part of Yamaha Music School’s world-renowned early music education system. It gives children aged 3–5 years a fun and engaging introduction to music through structured group lessons that nurture listening, singing, playing, and basic reading skills.
🎯 Why Start at Age 3
At age 3, children are at a key developmental stage for:
- Musical listening and imagination — they naturally respond to sound, rhythm, and melody.
- Creative expression — through playful exploration of music.
- Early keyboard interaction — learning to play simple sounds on piano or Electone in an enjoyable way.
🎼 What Children Experience in the Course
In the New Primary Course, kids will:
- Listen to and sing songs from various styles.
- Explore rhythm, sound, and movement through musical games and activities.
- Begin using keyboard instruments (piano or Electone) in a playful, stress-free environment.
- Build early foundations in listening, singing, playing, and reading music — the core steps of Yamaha’s approach.
🌱 Development Beyond Music
The course also supports broader growth beyond music, helping children develop social skills, concentration, cooperation, and self-confidence through fun group learning experiences.
In short, Yamaha’s New Primary Course for age 3 gives young children their first musical adventure — one that builds both fundamental musical skills and a genuine love for music.
