I always close out my lessons by opening up the floor to my students so that I can answer any questions they might have. Read More

I started learning piano when I was 6 years old in my hometown Sendai, Japan. By the time of my graduation from the primary school, my first piano teacher asked me if I am willing to taking piano lessons in order to enter a conservator of music.

I typically use Piano Adventures books. I start with teaching what each note on the Piano is, then how each note corresponds to what you see on paper, then I teach intervals, then scales, then chords, then harmonic structure, etc. All the while progressing through more and more fun and tricky pieces in the books. Eventually, I introduce solo pieces for each individual depending on what they want to learn/what they're interested in. Read More

For beginners, I start with a mixture of the Suzuki method and the Essential Elements book. I find that combining ear training while simultaneously developing the ability to read music only accelerates the learning process. Teaching adults of any level are all about assessing interests and goals. I find out where the interest in creativity lies in every individual and work on developing that so the lessons remain fun and fulfilling. Read More

I'm a motivated and patient instructor who likes working with many different types of students and sharing what I know and love about music with others.
