Instruments: Piano Guitar Electric Guitar
I would teach my students the basic notes of guitar reading. Once I have fully got my students into guitar reading notes I would then teach them the principals of chord structure and reading chord structure. I would also have them make a plan of what type of song each student would be into and how each and every one of them are going to apply it when playing it. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice
Lessons with me will be laid-back but focused. Each student will receive an individualized curriculum based upon their needs/wants from their lessons. Believe me, I've had some bone-dry teachers in the past, and if you're not having fun and liking what you're doing, you're most likely going to forget the lesson you just had. We're going to learn by having fun and doing what I love most! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Drums Bass Guitar
My main goal is to give each student the tools to be successful on their own. This is important because most progress is made outside of the lesson. This includes music reading and general knowledge of the music. I feel that success comes from the student feeling that THEY have accomplished something. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I am a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and exploring music together. I graduated from Soai University in Osaka in 2016. I had been developing my career as a freelance musician since I graduated and gained various professional musical experience including playing with Osaka Philharmonic and Okayama Philharmonic. In 2021, I came to U.S., and I just earned my Master's Degree in Orchestra Studies at the Chicago College of Performing Arts, where I studied the clarinet under Prof. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums
I started teaching towards the end of high school and continued in college and beyond! I found it beneficial to be teaching students while still being a student myself. Having great teachers in my life has shaped my own approach to teaching. I discovered that when I was able to study what I was truly excited about, my capacity to learn and improve my craft increased exponentially! To that end, I encourage students to bring in original material as well as "covers" that they are interested in to build a repertoire. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always have a pencil and don't be afraid to mark up your music! It doesn't make you dumb if you have to remind yourself that a certain note is flat or sharp. If you need to write in the counting - go for it! - it will only mean less mistakes being ingrained in your muscle memory. Especially at the piano - write in any finger number you need! Experiment and don't mind erasing previous work if you later come across a better way to finger a passage...but write what you have in the moment down so you don't forget. Marking up the music not only saves loads of time by not having to repeat certain steps in the learning process, but it also helps your brain solidify positive connections!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Rhapsody in Blue with the orchestral accompaniment. I heard it for the first time in Fantasia 2000 when I was little and fell in love with it back then. Once I was in high school I came across the piece again and bought the music. Then in college I made sure as many of my theory assignments or history assignments could focus on that piece. I have always loved jazz, but have kept mostly to the classical world in my practice. Rhapsody in Blue invokes an emotion that is so relatable - which is sometimes difficult for me to do with classical music.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
1. warm-up for about 20 minutes (long-tones, scales (all modes), arpeggios, thirds, tonguing rhythms) with a tuner (for flute) with a metronome (for flute and piano).
2. Sight-read (I try to rotate between easy - intermediate - advanced) 5 min
3. Wood-shed (find the hardest passages I'm working on practice slowly, fix bugs, experiment, google info on the piece to see if there are any suggestions, listen to recordings, sing them) the 2-3 hardest passages in my repertoire. 45-60 minutes
4. Context practice: play longer sections of passages I had worked on in my last practice session. 30 min
Note: this level of detail and continuity requires me to mark up my scores and keep a journal (on my phone) so I know what I've practice when. I also don't do this all in one sitting. Sometimes I do, but more often than not I warm-up and sightread then take a break - maybe practice piano or read, or clean, etc.) then do the wood-shed practice and take another break before going into context practice. If I'm crunched for time I warm-up and do as much wood-shedding as I can.
