The Yamaha Method of teaching piano, also known as the Yamaha Music Education System, is a comprehensive musical education approach that starts from a very young age, around three years old. It focuses on group lessons and a strong aural basis before introducing reading and writing music. The method is based on the belief that everyone has an inherent musical ability and the right environment and instruction can help develop this ability. It involves a lot of listening and imitating, and the use of color-coded keys on the piano to help with identification. The group setting encourages children to enjoy learning music together and helps with motivation.
