Ages 7-11 is when children can start learning a real instrument. They have better focus, coordination, and can understand music theory. This is the age when real progress happens.
Many parents also use this time to prepare for the 11+ Music Aptitude Test (MAT), which can help their child get into selective schools.
We start children who have never played before on the Grade 1 Yamaha course, which has a clear pathway all the way up to Grade 8. With over 3,000 grade passes to date, we have a proven success record.
