WHERE YOU’LL MEET
LIKE-MINDED
MUSIC EDUCATORS.
Yamaha started out making quality musical instruments.
Our founder believed that everyone is born with musical sensitivity – and he wanted to help everyone enjoy music freely.
And so, Yamaha Music School was founded.
To this day, our teaching philosophy has not changed.
At heart, we want to help students nurture their innate musical sensitivity. So that they enjoy creating and playing music –and eventually, share the joy of music with those around them.
If that resonates with you – this could be the job for you.
Established in Singapore since
1966
Taught students to date

YOU ARE THE IDEAL YAMAHA MUSIC TEACHER IF YOU HAVE:
Musical Proficiency
More than technical mastery or performance technique, we are looking for the ability to impart musical understanding –and develop students’ selfexpression and creativity.
Teaching Competency
Our students come from all walks of life with unique goals, personalities and abilities. With keen insight into each student’s needs, you draw out their full potential.
Emotional Engagement
At its heart, teaching is about relationships. By forming strong relationships with students, parents and fellow teachers – you help to foster a supportive and inclusive learning environment.
YAMAHA MUSIC TEACHERS UPLIFT
STUDENTS’ MUSICAL TALENT.
What made you fall in love with music? Maybe it was a catchy tune, a serendipitous encounter with a new instrument – or even your music teacher. Whichever it is (or something else entirely), here’s your chance to be that spark to set off students’ lifelong love for music.
Our students come to us as complete beginners or aspiring professionals (and anywhere in between) – meaning you can make a difference at any point of their musical journey.
Their ages are diverse – aged two years old and up – you’ll have the opportunity to work with a wide range of age groups.
Be it inspiring the next generation of musicians or helping complete novices discover the joy of music – that’s what Yamaha Music Teachers do every day.
“I’m grateful to my Yamaha teachers who instilled music sensitivity and technical mastery in me –helping me engage with music on a deeper level and understand myself better. I hope to do the same for my students.”
On an additional note: Yamaha Music Teachers focus on teaching. Things such as hitting sales targets – our support team is here to take care of them.
