You can:

So, what are you waiting for? Join us now - it's absolutely free but the benefits could be priceless! We look forward to counting you as one of our friends.

The new 'School Recorder'!

Yamaha has an impressive track record of support for music education in the UK. Our 2 websites are designed to help share the benefit of this work.

Information about this interactive website can be found elsewhere on this page.

yamahamusiceducation.co.uk - our other education website - contains up-to-date music education news and information about Yamaha's educational activities in the UK.

I hope you enjoy our webites and hope you will want to contribute your comments and ideas on this one.
