Music is a lifelong friend. It stays by your side in any environment, sometimes becoming a refuge for your heart, and always ready to share in your joy. Having the treasure of “music” within you certainly enriches your life.
It’s like a secret hideout in your heart where you can play freely. Whether you’re a beginner or have experience, I warmly invite you to visit our studio. I look forward to spending fun musical moments together.
As you will see the videos like “Absolute Pitch in 2 Minutes,” in my class, and will find most of our students develop perfect pitch through an efficient combination of five activities: harmony, rhythm, singing, piano, and ear training.
They’ve built such strong skills that they can now play as if they’re just having fun.
Here’s a video of a performance from our recital:
