THE 10TH YAMAHA JUNIOR PIANO COMPETITION 2025 (HONG KONG)

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。

今年度香港區比賽將分為初賽及決賽。

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.
