*Self-introduction*
I first started the piano in first grade of elementary school.
Through a series of successes and setbacks I've come to this point, all the while continuing to perform.(^-^)
After graduating from a music college, I was mainly engaged in piano teaching for a certain music school and in performing.
I have experienced playing accompaniment for intrument and voice, was a member of a four-hand piano perfomance group and have played in cafes and restaurants, concerts and competitions.
I have interest in everything, and aside from the technical side of playing the piano, music has also helped me grow as a a human being. I've also had the chance to meet many people.
Music is amazing, isn't it?
Now I am the mother of an infant and a 2 year old. Even though I have these two small children, I still do whatever I can to be involved with the piano.♪
The fact that online lessons can be done from home is something that I find wonderful!
☆A Nagoya University of The Arts Music Department Piano Perfomance graduate
☆A holder of Kawai Piano grade 2 certification
*Teaching experience*
I have taught a wide range of ages, from 0 to 80+.
Aside from children's lesson of preschoolers to high schoolers, I've also been involved in instruction for piano performances and competitions and singing competitions.
I've taught adults from beginners to advanced levels, featuring a variety of genres like classical, popular and trending J-pop.
I've also taught group lessons, enjoying the fun of eurhythmics. ♪
I have experienced a wide variety of courses, including 0 to 2 years of age finger and music play, eurhythmics and music courses enjoyed by mother and child together, as well as piano ensemble courses for 3 & 4 year olds.
*Lesson style*
For small children who have never come in contact with the piano, we start gradually with music play. For children who are nervous about taking lessons, I make sure to create a fun environment, so please feel at ease.(^^♪
For beginners who can read music and can play a little, we go at a pace that is suitable and comfortable for the student.
Through finger exercises, reading music and rhythm checks, together we work towards being able to play the music!
I welcome all students, whether you're an adult who used to learn piano but has forgetten the basics, or are someone who has never played the piano but would like to learn to play a song you love.^_^
We can learn to read music from the very first note!
In my lessons, I endeavour to intimately understand the student's needs and do my utmost to give instruction according to their goals and hopes.
If you're wondering what online lessons are like, why not start off with a trial lesson?
All you need is the feeling of, "I want to try to play the piano."♪
ーーーーーAbout the lesson schedule
ーーーーー
※During the week I am engaged in child-rearing so primarily the lessons are on Saturdays and Sundays.
Aside from that, if there are any other days or times that come up as available, that will be reflected in my schedule.
Even though the time is limited, I keenly look forwad to meeting you all.♪
I look forward to your requests!
