Yamaha began offering language education in 1987 with its "English and Rhythm" courses for two and three year olds. The Yamaha approach uses English in songs and coupled with rhythms to help young children learn as they play. Today, Yamaha operates a total of 1,500 English Schools, attended by approximately 65,000 students. Yamaha English education includes "Playing in English" classes for one-year-old children and their mothers, and the conversation courses for adults. With increased awareness of the importance of English, the number of students has grown significantly in recent years. Yamaha has created a range of language acquisition environments that naturally accustom people of all ages to the sounds and rhythms of English.
