As a violin teacher, my goal is to create a positive learning environment while cultivating the student’s love for music. I believe in developing music-reading as well as ear-training skills in my student’s music education. I work hard to tailor each lesson to meet the individual student’s musical goals, level and learning style. I have experience teaching students from age 3 to adult and from absolute beginner to college-level students. As a conservatory trained violinist, I teach a solid foundation in violin technique, theory and repertoire. I currently maintain a private violin studio in Yokohama and one in my home in Kawasaki. I can teach in both English and Japanese. Learning to play the violin is a lifelong process. Music can lead us to new opportunities, meet interesting people and travel to unique places. Everyone can learn to play the violin. It is never too late to start! I look forward to being a part of you or your child’s musical journey.

Laura is an Italian woman born in Sardinia. She began her studies of music at a young age as a self-taught, and with dedication, she learns to play the recorder and the basics of music. At 14, Laura passes the entrance examination at the music school. She enrolls at the music school and attends lectures in two different high schools: the music school (Conservatorio G.P. da Palestrina) and the pedagogical high school. After the graduation as a pedagogue, Laura continues her musical studies by playing the bassoon, studying in deep music composition, solfeggio, choral singing.
After graduating from the musical high school as a bassoonist, she enrolls at the music college, where she successfully concludes her studies as bassoonist (and music related studies) and begins a new course of study as pianist. After the master's degree, Laura moves to Japan, where she supervises a chorus and teaches music and Italian.

Currently, she is teaching piano solfeggio and vocal (vocal lessons are just for kids).

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.

Shakuhachi is a traditional Japanese bamboo flute.
It is unique in historical sense, Shakuhachi was played in Edo period, not as a musical instrument but a tool for Buddhism training.
It also has very unique character as a wind instrument, and there is very satisfying pleasure to play it.

In this class, we would like to share the joy and mindfulness of Shakuhachi playing.
It is sometimes hard to make sound with Shakuhachi, but there is so much to be inspired by feeling your breath turning into the sound, by playing the instrument.

Koudou is a professional Shakuhachi player, who has finished both the Bachelor and Master course at the Tokyo University of the Arts.
Along with playing in concerts and lives, he also gives lessons daily and teach in workshops for beginners more than 50 times a year.
