Yamaha has reorganised its extensive activities for music education. The new operation, Yamaha More Music, aims to "become an incubator and inspiration for many students and teachers by connecting knowledge-hungry emerging talent with established artists and top-level industry practitioners". These will include promoters, producers and the many accomplished musicians – classical, jazz and rock – who are associated with the company.

Yamaha More Music will continue Yamaha's policy of bringing together music students and performers such as Jamie Cullum, Chris Martin, Julian Joseph, Jools Holland and the London Philharmonia. It will also continue to support aspiring musicians through the well established Music Scholarships for Conservatoires and Specialist Music Schools scheme, now in its 20th year.
