In many cases, this refers to performing a song on the spot using each instrument based on a given task (motif or theme). If you trace the history of Western music, many musicians performed it between concerts. It is known that many great composers, such as the famous Beethoven and Liszt, were masters of improvisation. On the other hand, in popular music, as exemplified by jazz, the performance itself is often improvised, and it is an important element that expresses the individuality and ability of the performer. At YMS, we aim to learn music comprehensively and to be able to express creative music. Composing one’s own songs and improvising are examples of creative musical expression that can be said to be a symbol of this. At YMS, we value the ability to freely express what we feel in our hearts through sound, and lessons are conducted based on a consistent curriculum. (Reference) Overview of YMS The philosophy of YMS is to “nurture the musicality that all people have, develop the ability to create, perform, and enjoy music on their own, and share the joy of music widely.” The Yamaha Music Education System was systematized to put this philosophy into practice. In addition to training
instructors, developing teaching materials, conducting a music proficiency test system (Yamaha Grade), and holding concerts, we also promote music popularization and educational activities while improving classrooms and training staff throughout the country. YMS’ predecessor classroom was started in Japan in 1954, and the first overseas school was opened in Los Angeles, USA in 1964, and now more than 450,000 students around the world are experiencing the joy of music. . We are greatly expanding the circle of music while striving to harmonize with each region’s unique culture and national character. *Product names, company names, etc. in this text are trademarks or registered trademarks of our company or each company. *The information contained in this news release is current as of the date of announcement.
