The Yamaha Class Band is a unique concept of group music education.

As we age, engaging in creative and social activities becomes incre-
asingly important for our overall well-being. Group music-making offers

a unique blend of cognitive, emotional, and social benefits, especially
for seniors.

People learn to play a wind instrument together.

The instruments the Class Band consists of are flute, clarinet,
saxophone, trumpet, trombone and euphonium. Everyone chooses

their own instrument and the teacher ensures that a nice orchestra
is formed with a good balance between the instruments.
People learn to play together from the first lesson in the group.

A Class Band can take place on every suitable time and day.
