The outcome of Xiao-Xiao’s development within Yamaha music system is an outcome of a team work between Yamaha music centre, dedicated Yamaha music teachers, self-motivated students and their devoted parents. I am sure that more talented music students will get benefits by learning music from Yamaha.

The benefits of participating in this international event is not within music itself. It has extended to a great degree of cultural exchange by way of music. It has delivered a positive message to all young students that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, every student is talented so long as they are eager to learn and practice.

All young musicians or music lovers in Australia are rising with Yamaha

May I take this opportunity to thank you as a head of Yamaha music centre in Melbourne. You are always available if we need help.

Bethany (5):

“You get to learn lots of songs. My friends can play for a long time without stopping. (My teacher) Keat is funny; he tells us jokes. And he’s kind because he gives me stickers. And my friends make me pictures.”

Bethany's mother:

My daughter has been transformed this year! When we started, she was nervous about playing in case she made a mistake, but at the last lesson of Book Two she performed in front of the whole class – and volunteered first! I have seen her concentration span increase during the year, and we are surprised by how much she can take in. Now instead of refusing to play when something seems hard, I am delighted that she will say something like “Did you hear me? I was singing!” or “I kept going right to the end!” or “I only made two mistakes.” Week after week, her teacher has encouraged each member of the class– for singing joyfully, for listening quietly to their friends play, for playing along at a steady tempo like an orchestra. My daughter now encourages herself, and knows that sometimes you have to work at something for a while before it is achieved. What a valuable lesson in resilience- and all before she has even started going to school!
