Yamaha Canada Kick-Off!
On April 21, Yamaha Canada Music Ltd. held its annual Kick-off at the Toronto Don Valley Hotel. Attended by staff from across Canada, the day began with a general assembly to discuss challenges and growth opportunities for the upcoming fiscal year under the theme “One Yamaha.”
The afternoon breakout sessions included presentations by Key Accounts Manager Paul Bawcutt on the latest AV apps and two demonstrations: Product Manager Mike Voelkel covered the P-250 Digital Keyboards and iPhone apps, Product Marketing Manager Sean Browne the latest iPhone apps for the DTX450 Electronic Drum Kit. Highlight of the breakout sessions was a drum circle that had the staff moving and shaking to the beat of their own drums.
The evening was capped with dinner and a motivational speech and performance by renowned artist Alan Frew, lead singer of the award-winning Canadian band Glass Tiger.
