Presenting Personal Sentiments through Original Compositions

The Junior Original Concert (JOC) offers children aged 15 or younger studying at Yamaha Music Schools opportunities to perform their own compositions in public. Since its start in 1972, the JOC program has expanded worldwide as an activity to promote the growth of children, and we now receive more than 35,000 applications as children's messages each year. Many remarkable compositions are performed at the class-level and school-level concerts put on by Yamaha Music Schools around the country, at the JOC Regional Concerts aimed at enhancing the cultural level of local communities, and at the International Junior Original Concerts providing a venue for outstanding musical compositions from children worldwide. Many JOC participants have gone on to outstanding, active professional careers in music and other fields, and have won high praise all over the world.
