Growing up, the brand Yamaha was synonymous with music itself. Yamaha instruments seemed to hold a magical quality. Every Saturday morning, I would dutifully head to my Yamaha organ lessons, a routine my mother signed me up for! While my musical journey ultimately took a different path (I failed!), my appreciation for Yamaha’s commitment to fostering creativity has only grown stronger. Last week, I found myself stepping back into that world of music when I visited Yamaha’s impressive new flagship store in Uptown Mall, BGC. The experience was a wave of nostalgia, bringing back those childhood memories and reminding me of the power of music to inspire and connect.
Yamaha’s New Flagship Store
Yamaha, a company that has been at the forefront of musical innovation since 1887, recently launched its largest boutique in the Philippines at Uptown Mall in Bonifacio Global City. This new space serves as a testament to Yamaha’s dedication to providing musicians of all levels with the tools they need to express themselves. The store launch was a grand affair, attended by key figures in the music industry, media pracitioners, and even government officials. Yamaha Corporation Senior General Manager of the Asia Pacific Sales Division, Mr. Kennei Sakai, graced the event and shared, “Yamaha has always been committed to providing the best musical instruments and experiences to people all over the world. This new store in the Philippines is a symbol of our dedication to the Filipino music community.”
Harmonizing with the Community: Yamaha’s Educational Initiative
During the event, Yamaha Music Philippines announced a heartwarming initiative: the donation of 50 keyboards to the Department of Education. These instruments will be distributed to public schools across the country, giving aspiring young musicians the opportunity to explore their talents. This act of generosity reflects Yamaha’s deep-rooted belief in the power of music education to enrich lives. “Yamaha Music is committed to supporting creative and passionate individuals, and we want to make music more accessible to everyone,” shared Mr. Koichiro Onoe, President of Yamaha Music Philippines. “Filipinos are talented individuals who are not afraid to express themselves, and we want to be with them on their journey as they continue to make waves through music.”
