About

I am a multi-instrumentalist with over 6 years of teaching experience and more than 10 years of performance experience in orchestra, chamber music, and as a soloist. I hold a Licentiate of Trinity College London degree in Violin and Piano Performance and have received numerous awards in piano and violin competitions. These include the IPPA Gold Medal in Piano. I can help you improve your performance on piano, violin, cello, drum, koto or saxophone—whether you're preparing for a competition or simply looking to enhance your daily practice. Just send me a video of your performance to get started.

Teaching Style

My approach is student-centered, flexible, and passion-driven. I adapt each lesson to your goals, learning pace, and musical interests with a strong focus on building a solid foundation and inspiring lifelong musicianship.

Curriculum

My lessons blend traditional Japanese mentorship with Western pedagogical structure to create a dynamic, student-centered experience. Whether teaching koto, piano, or violin, I focus on:

  • Cultural Context: Learn not just technique, but the history and philosophy behind each instrument (e.g., koto’s sawari resonance, Western harmony theory).

  • Adaptive Repertoire: Customized exercises based on your goals—classical études, folk melodies, or modern fusion pieces.

  • Ear & Notation Balance: Develop sight-reading and improvisation skills (essential for cross-genre versatility).

  • Performance Prep: Confidence-building through mock performances, with feedback on expression and stage presence.

Tools Used:

  • Screen-sharing for sheet music/notation software.

  • Real-time duets (I play accompaniment to your melody).

  • Culturally rich materials (e.g., Rokudan no Shirabe for koto, Suzuki method for violin).

Recommended Students

My approach is ideal for:

  1. Cultural Explorers: Those drawn to Japanese traditions (koto) or East-West fusion.

  2. Multi-Instrumentalists: Learners who want to connect piano/violin theory with koto techniques.

  3. Teens & Adults: Ages 5+, from beginners to advanced players seeking refined artistry.

  4. Flexible Learners: Students who thrive with a mix of structure (scales, drills) and creativity (improv, composition).
