Wheaton Yamaha Celebrates 35 Years
Posted by Laura Nelson on August 1, 2010
This year, Bev Griffith marks her 35th year of directing, teaching and introducing young children to music at the Wheaton Yamaha Music School. The school opened in 1975 with 35 students. Today, there are more than 220 budding musicians enrolled in the school’s piano/keyboard classes.
Children ages 3-8 learn singing, ear training, solo and ensemble keyboard playing, keyboard harmony, theory, technique and music appreciation in an atmosphere that is nurturing, rewarding and fun.
Having introduced thousands of children to the wonders of music, Griffith says “We know that music touches people deeply in ways like nothing else can. It makes us better, kinder and more connected human beings.”
Summer Camps are going on during August; registration for the fall session is ongoing.
Wheaton Yamaha Music School is at 935 W. Liberty, Wheaton. (630) 682-1334. Contact the school for a complete schedule, or visit www.WheatonYamahaMusic School.com
