MAKING MUSIC TOGETHER

The Yamaha Strings Class is a modern, motivating and effec-
tive way of teaching music. The students systematically learn
to play on a string instrument. Theory is taught in a playful way
and the pupils remember it much better. The pupils together
form an orchestra right from the start.
The children can start in the strings class without any prior
knowledge.
In principle, the Strings Class is a two-year music course which
can be
continued as a school orchestra. Maybe together with a Yama-
ha Class Band as a real symphony orchestra.

Possible organisational forms of a Strings Class:

• In the school: in the classroom during school hours for eve-
ryone
• In the music society as precursor of the youth orchestra
• At the music school as an orchestra for all students

Advantages of participating in a Strings Class:

• Promoting motivation and self-awareness
• Developing team spirit and a sense of responsibility in a
group
• Increase of the concentration arc
• Being responsible for a valuable instrument
• Joint concerts

Advantages of starting a Strings Class:

• Almost all learning objectives of established curricula are
taught practically
• Learning an instrument goes hand in hand with the playful
learning of other musical subjects such as history and basic
knowledge.
• Playing together regularly in a class orchestra promotes
conscious
• and multidimensional learning.

Music makes smart! Learning and Playing
an instrument increases social skills and
increases development of the brain.
