The educational effects of learning to play musical instruments are so well documented that such instruction is standard in schools around the world. However, in some countries, lack of equipment or trained teachers, or inadequate curriculum often limits to what extent schools can offer. As a project to provide the chance for as many children to experience the joys of
playing instruments, Yamaha is currently expanding the School Project.
In 2016, Yamaha's initiative to introduce instrumental music education into music classes at the elementary and secondary schools in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (hereinafter Vietnam) as a part of the School Project, received official recognition under the Public-Private Initiative to Disseminate Japanese-Style Education Overseas (EDU-Port Japan) of Japan’s
Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (hereinafter MEXT). Yamaha will continue to contribute to the dissemination of instrumental music education and the development of music education in Vietnam, in cooperation with the Japanese government.
