The facility is clean and very well organized. My son developed a great interest in music by learning Music Wonderland program and Junior Music 1 which motived him to learn piano, and he just got a First Class award in a piano contest. Miss Faye is super friendly, and Miss Vanessa is an amazing teacher. Thank you, Yamaha Music School!!

Yamaha Music School Markham is truly an incredible music school. My daughter has been attending the private piano and groups lessons for 6 years now. She has learned leaps and bounds in technical playing, musicality, composition of original pieces, music theory and many more. The music school not only teaches children to love music and their instruments but really instills life skills as well. The teachers are top notch as they inspire the students to persevere, not give up and to be confident. My child loves all her teachers because they really invest in her to succeed in learning new music materials

My daughter is taking a group piano lesson and satisfied the programs. The teachers are excellent and really engaging well with all kids in the class. The office staff has been extremely helpful and made us feel safe amid the pandemic as well.

I began going to Yamaha Music School at the age 7 and completed the Young Musician's Course three years afterword. I firmly believe that there is no better (and more enjoyable) place to take your child to dive in to the world of music. After completing the group classes I moved on to taking private lessons where I focused on taking the royal conservatory's exams until I wanted to try a different instrument. Through Yamaha's curriculum I was able to develop not just my skills on the piano but as a musician and now, speaking as a professional the group lessons offered at Yamaha have helped me shape

My child enjoys coming to Yamaha for piano class every week. His teacher maintains a good learning environment for ten students. The staff there is kind and helpful. The facility looks great, much cleaner than other music schools. I cant wait to see my son take on JMC2 next year!!

"She enjoys music very much. Sometimes she uses her own words to change the lyrics of a familiar tune, such as Little Brother John. She is confident to sing some new songs, which she learnt from her music teacher, in front of her peers." This is a comment from my daughter's report card. I think her improvements and confidence comes from her weekly Yamaha music lesson. I highly recommend the Music Wonderland program for all 3-4 years old!

Nice new place compared to the old location. Much more space in the waiting area and nicer practicing rooms.
