IT SOUNDS LIKE CHRISTMAS AT YAMAHA MUSIC LONDON
Yamaha Music London, Yamaha’s world famous music store in the heart of London’s West End has unveiled its first peek of the best music-related gifts to inspire beginners, aspiring musicians or lapsed music makers this Christmas.
A long lasting gift
UK parents spent an average of £339* on toys during 2017 on each child. Many of those toys, quickly lose their “cool factor” especially at Christmas when children are inundated with presents which often end up forgotten at the back of a cupboard.
The most memorable gifts are often creative and rewarding experiences. For example, learning to play a musical instrument genuinely makes you feel good and you will reap the many health benefits regardless of age, including improved concentration, increased memory skills and lower stress levels.
Purchasing any musical instrument has a lasting value. It is an investment in the future, the start of a hobby and a family activity that can be shared and enjoyed for a lifetime.
