Hello. My name is Karin and I am a piano teacher♪

I have been playing the piano for most of my life, from music high school [Nishinomiya High School, Hyogo Prefecture] to music college [Tokyo University of the Arts, Department of Instrumental Music, majoring in piano] to studying abroad [Karol Szymanowski University of Music, Katowice, Poland]. I love music and the piano. When I graduated from university, I obtained a first-class junior high school teaching certificate (music) and a first-class senior high school teaching certificate (music).

 

Everyone is welcome, from children to adults, even if you can't read music or have never learnt to play the piano before, don’t hesitate!

Let’s work together on reading music, basic posture and how to actually play the piano♪

If you have any particular song that you want to play, if you want to be able to play more difficult pieces or to create more beautiful notes, I am here to help you achieve these wishes!


The word 'lesson' may sound a little intimidating, but don't worry.

You can take my lessons even if you're not at the stage where you can play! In that case, we can practice together.

If you have any problems with your playing, or if you are struggling to improve, please feel free to contact me.

By the way, it doesn’t have to be only classic music♪

Of course, piano students and those who would like to prepare for a recital or competition are welcomed! ♪

I’ll be here to help you if you need me outside the available lesson time♪

I have lessons where you can send me a video of you playing, and I will give you advice (write on the score) based on the video; Or lessons prioritizing an essential part of music, the solfeggio♪

In addition to the video at the beginning of the profile, I have uploaded a number of videos of my performances on YouTube. If you have time, please check them out♪



I would love to share the joy of music with as many people as possible♡

Feel free to take the trial lesson first☆
I look forward to hearing from you♪
