Why we do this

At Yamaha Music Australia, we believe that every student deserves the opportunity to make music - and we know that quality music education plays a vital role in developing cognitive abilities, academic performance, and social skills.

That's why we're committed to supporting not only the recipients of this grant, but all music educators across Australia, through our Off To A Great Start education outreach initiative.

The Great Start Grant is just one of many ways Yamaha supports music education across Australia. To learn more, visit greatstartyamaha.com
