Children's Yamaha Music School

The initial teacher training is administered over a two-year period. Only teachers sponsored by authorized Yamaha Music Schools may enter the training process. Upon passing entrance examinations, teachers attend seminars locally and at Yamaha Corporation of America headquarters in southern California. In addition, teachers receive feedback from a staff of mentor teachers who evaluate videos of their classes. As they continue their career, teachers attend seminars that introduce new and revised courses and participate in workshops on a range of subjects.
