Extra information

I recently relocated to Tokyo from Kuwait, where I taught over 30 students annually (including members of the royal family) in one of the best music schools in the country. A number of my students have gone to study music at university level, including one getting accepted at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. I have a can-do, persevering and humorous spirit, and I simply love to teach.
*Having a piano (digital or acoustic) at your home is essential for the classes.

About Me

I’m a positive person, with a can-do, hardworking and humorous spirit. My target in every lesson is to inspire my students to love playing the piano, and to motivate them to practice harder and most importantly, to enjoy practicing.
Coming from a family of teachers of literature, music and tennis, I always feel at home when I am teaching.

Education

The Open University (GPA 3.98/4), The Frydryk Chopin Institute (piano classes with Janusz Okejniczak)
Multiple piano masterclasses in Kuwait, Poland, Armenia and online in the UK)

Experience / Qualifications

I’m a laureate of the Gulf International Chopin Piano Competition (2010), upon which I was awarded a piano scholarship by the Polish government to study piano in Poland in the form of masterclasses under renowned pianist Janusz Olejniczak.

I compose music in my spare time. One of my pieces, Bloozjan, was commissioned by Dutch jazz pianist Marcel Worms and consequently released in his CD, “Twenty Years of New Blues for Piano” (2017). I am also keen on making piano arrangements of Gypsy jazz music originally composed for the guitar.

I am a professional pianist, who have over 20 years experience in teaching piano and music theory.

I teach all ages, beginners to professionals, have many international students, and a class for Associations Franco-Japonais (AFJ), in English, French, and Japanese.

I also prepare students for exams or competitions, such as Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM, ARSM, DipABRSM), and Advanced Placement (AP) Music Theory, etc., and most of my students have achieved with distinction.

In my class, considering capabilities of each student, we will work and find together what is the best way for them to enjoy music, based on technical assurance and control, matching musical interpretation, communication, and delivery.

Teaching locations will be at a lesson studio in west Tokyo (Kamishakujii), student’s home, or online. Group lessons are able only for music theory at student’s home or online.
Hybrid lessons (combining face-to-face and online lessons) are also capable.

I would be happy to help you to achieve any music goals.

I'm a classical pianist having more than 20 years experiences. I teach from beginners around 5 years old to adults, seniors, professionals, and international students as well.
I teach piano in only Japanese, only English, or Japanese and English mixing 2 languages.

I have my own studio Higashisugano Ichikawa City in Chiba. There are 2 parking spots for students.
I'm also planning to teach online near future. (Currently I teach only at my studio not students' home.)

My piano lesson will be very fun, and I try to find the places where students feel struggles, and I quickly identify the problems to improve their skills. In my piano lesson, the lesson will be always 2 ways. It's about students and my communications, and I try to understand where students' skills are and give them right direction to make piano skills better.

A professional/experienced drummer that can teach from beginners to intermediate, and advanced drummers.

I am very passionate about coaching the basic but quite important methodology/exercise for playing drums such as rudiments, kick drum exersize with METRONOME, which are the areas most of the beginner drummers tend to skip. even experienced drummer would not know how to apply those rudiments patterns to real drums play.

EXPLORE MUSIC THROUGH PIANO PLAYING
A graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, I offer private piano lessons at my teaching studio in Narimasu, Itabashiku, Tokyo. In my lessons I strive to teach more than simply how to play the piano. My goal is to help students understand how music works, how to understand it, and how to create it yourself. I take a holistic approach to teaching, incorporating lessons in proper piano technique, listing skills, rhythm and harmony games, good practice habits and techniques, and the history of music, among other things. Above all else I aim to make the lessons as interesting and useful as possible.
