Notes
*Yamaha Junior Original Concert
The Junior Original Concert(JOC) features Yamaha Music School students aged 15 and below from around the world performing their own original compositions. Based on the Yamaha method, focusing on creativity and originality, each JOC concert presents young performers/composers communicating their own heartfelt emotions using the international language of music. Founded in 1972 on this philosophy, JOC’s activities have spread to over 40 countries around the world for over 50 years.
What is Yamaha Music School?
The philosophy of Yamaha Music School is "To foster the musical sensitivity that everyone is born with, to develop the ability to enjoy creating and playing the music of their own and ultimately share the joy of music with anyone." Yamaha Music Education System is a systematic method to implement this philosophy. We are actively involved in training teachers, developing teaching materials, implementing a musical skill grading system (Yamaha Grade Examination System), and holding concerts. In addition, we are promoting the popularization of music and educational activities while also working on the development of schools throughout Japan as well as staff training.
Yamaha Music School first opened in Japan in 1954, followed by the first international location in Los Angeles, USA in 1964, and now over 190,000 students learn and experience the joy of music around the world. While harmonizing with the unique cultures and nationalities of different countries, the joy of music is being spread.
