The Yamaha Advantage™ is the perfect way to begin instrumental music instruction. The first few pages reinforce tone production with shape notes and gradually move to traditional music notation. The educational process is enhanced with chorales, technique studies, familiar music from all cultures, great classical themes, special advantage exercises and musical ensemble experiences. The Yamaha Advantage also has a complete website with instant access to play-along recordings for each line in the methods that were performed by live musicians. The website also includes access to information for parents, extras for students like fun songs and many other resources to enrich the learning process.
