Welcome to Yamaha Music Europe GmbH (UK)'s education community, Yamaha Education Friends
- connecting people who teach or contribute to music education, all around the UK and in the Republic of Ireland, at all levels and in all kinds of settings.
While we have areas for general discussion/sharing on general music education topics, we are developing specific focus areas, which include: jazz, improvisation in general, contemporary classical music, composing (and teaching it) and music technology.
Further info about Yamaha Education and Yamaha Education Friends is available from: Bill C Martin.

YES MAGAZINE OFFER: Whether you’re setting up a professional production suite, trying to record on location or just installing a small music technology corner in a classroom, the selection of the right technology, that can stand up to the severe wear and tear that a music department and its students will almost certainly give it, can be a confusing task.

Yamaha Jazz Experience
Our major UK-wide 2009-2010 Yamaha Jazz Experience jazz education project - which kicked off early in 2009 with a nationwide series of 1-day workshops for teachers new to improvising - held its competition finals for 11-18s at Barclays Cheltenham Jazz festival on 1 May 2010, where our judges, Liane Carroll, Peter Ind, Julian Joseph, Richard Michael and Andrea Vicari - chose three winning ensembles, each of whom won £3,000 worth of Yamaha gear and gigs at Ronnie Scott's, the 606 Club or the Bull's Head jazz club in Barnes!.
Jazz Experience workshop leader, Richard Michael, and JazzFM broadcaster, Helen Mayhew, joined Yamaha's Bill C Martin on 1 March to shortlist the entries down to the nine ensembles - three from each age category (under-15, under-17 and under-19) who performed brilliantly at the finalists' event, hosted by Cheltenham Jazz Festival on 1 May 2010.
You can read about the entire project on our Yamaha Education Info site, about the winners' London jazz gigs in Summer 2010.
