About

This studio is aimed at providing private piano lessons and theory instruction for the ABRSM.​

 I work to provide lessons where each sound is a bundle of an individual's musical feelings and expression.

 

1. Valuing each individual sound

 Classes value small daily growth and discoveries on the path toward bigger achievements.

 I strive to carefully nurture the joy of making sounds and the pleasure of expression at the pace of the individual.

2. A place for self-expression through music

 Music can convey feelings that are difficult to express in words.

 Music can provide a place where students can naturally express themselves by playing sounds with their own colour and sensitivity.

3. Sound as a "gift" that delivers the heart 

 When you play for someone to listen, the sound is not just a note, but a bouquet that conveys your feelings.

 The music you play for yourself also becomes a gift to the self. You will be able to organise and release your emotions and feel a

 deepening of self-understanding.

 

4. A quiet and rich space for learning

 I value learning that is not only lively but also quiet and resonant.

 By creating time to face oneself, their ability to deeply appreciate music grows.

 

I hope that as you continue to learn, music will add colour and depth to your daily life.

Greetings from me

Life is better with music

As I progress in my life, I have an increasing desire to have a more comfortable life with music.

Throughout the 20 years I have lived abroad and raised my two children, I have encountered many things. However, one thing that has always remained constant in my mind is music. Although we live in a world where an enormous amount information is readily available, I believe that the process of facing each case and resolving them, is the same now as it was in the past. With this same process, you can discover unnoticed habits and efficient ways of practicing. As you progress, your musical performance can be improved, which can be emotionally moving. ​
