WHAT IS THE
YAMAHA GRADE?

The Yamaha Grade was established in 1967 with the aim of helping teachers and music learners to develop their overall musical abilities and to engage in creative and rich musical expression while having fun. Since then, it is trusted as a social standard for evaluating musical ability.

We always tell our examiners during their training that the experience of taking the grade exam will motivate music learners to further their music studies. We hope that we can help you to enjoy the pleasure and satisfaction that music brings to your lives. We sincerely support all candidates.
