“Thanks to all the Yamaha staff who coached, coordinated and led a wonderful concert experience today!  We were present for two concerts and enjoyed them both so much!  We are truly fortunate to be part of an organization that is so dedicated to children's appreciation for music."  - John H.

Congratulation to FORTISSIMO students who passed the ABRSM piano grade exam: Queena Liu ( ABRSM 1), Cynthia Wang ( ABRSM 3), Maggie Huang ( ABRSM 5), and Madeline Huang ( ABRSM 5). Congratulation to FORTISSIMO student for achieving State level award  Queena Liu - Primary music composition - Award of Merit. Music therapy services and music lesson for special need students by a licensed music therapist/ teacher available at Fortissimo now.

Our performance clubs are casual mini-recitals held at the school approximately one time per month ( Please check school calendar for upcoming events).  Open to all Yamaha School students levels JMC 3/YMC 3 and higher or 2nd year private lesson study and higher. All students wanting to participate must receive the required teacher approval.



Performance Club is a relaxed and supportive environment. Parents, siblings, and friends are welcome to attend (space and seating is limited). Students experience the fun of sharing their music with others and learn performance etiquette (how to be a good performer and a good audience member).  Performing in a recital or P-club is motivating for students and helps to build a sense of accomplishment and confidence!
