The 9th Yamaha Junior Piano Competition 2024 (Hong Kong)

THE 9TH YAMAHA JUNIOR PIANO COMPETITION 2024 (HONG KONG)活動精彩回顧

 

 

YAMAHA的教育理念是“to foster the musical sensitivity that everyone is born with,
to develop the ability to enjoy creating and playing the music of their own and ultimately
share the joy of music with anyone,”

秉承這一理念，自2016年以來一直舉辦Yamaha Junior Piano Competition，其宗旨是使表演者
能夠自由表達他們從樂譜中收集到的情感，擴大他們的音樂視野和表現範圍。
比賽適合15歲或以下的學生參加，此比賽希望讓學生學習、磨練技能，並發展成為鋼琴家。

今年度香港區比賽將分為初賽及決賽。

通過初賽之參賽者須參加決賽；於香港區決賽獲得金獎之參賽者之演奏將有機會傳送到日本遴選，
通過遴選者有機會前往日本Tokyo Dai-ichi Seimei Hall參加國際性總決賽。

*(須再次完成報名手續)

YAMAHA’s educational philosophy is“to foster the musical sensitivity that everyone is born with,
to develop the ability to enjoy creating and playing the music of their own and ultimately share
the joy of music with anyone,”

With this philosophy in mind, the Yamaha Junior Piano Competition has been held since 2016,
based on a desire to enable performers to freely express the emotions they gather from music
scores and broaden their musical horizons and range of expressions in a freeform manner.
Aimed at piano students 15 years old or younger, this competition allows students to learn,
polish their skills, and develop as pianists.

The Hong Kong competition this year will be divided into Preliminary and Semifinal

Contestants who passed the Preliminary are required to join the semifinal；contestants
who passed the semifinal, the performance video might be sent to Japan for audition;
