Instruments: Piano Guitar
Throughout the past 17 years I have been both a student and ambassador of music. Whether it has been explaining and showing chords or scales to another student, or describing the inner workings and wonder of a guitar solo with a friend - seeking to create and teach music will always be at the forefront of all that I do. To me, the first and most important thing for learning music is that you have to play something you enjoy and find fun. Read More

I am a passionate, motivated, and an experienced music instructor. I have been playing guitar and other various instruments since I was 11 - I'm currently in my mid thirties. I graduated in 2014 with an Associates degree in music from Sierra Community College, where my main focus was guitar and composition. Soon after, I transferred into Sacramento State's guitar program where I gained extensive knowledge of guitar scales, chords, and applicable techniques that make every day playing more enjoyable and professional.

Music has helped me a lot through out my life and I want to be able to watch students develop a passion and fall in love with music. I want to make sure that students progress at his or her own speed. I will help sett goals for my students at each lesson to help them progress in their music. I will acknowledge the students accomplishments to help my students progress and keep my students eager to learn more about music and their instrument. Read More

I incorporate method books into all of my lessons, as well as any technique books that are appropriate for each specific student. The method books that I begin with are Essential Elements, the I Recommend series, Standard of Excellence, and Tradition of Excellence. The technique books depend on the specific instrument and ability level. I feel that it is very important to get every student playing actual sheet music as soon as possible, regardless of skill level. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I started learning piano when I was 6 years old in my hometown Sendai, Japan. By the time of my graduation from the primary school, my first piano teacher asked me if I am willing to taking piano lessons in order to enter a conservator of music. If so, she would introduce her piano teacher who was a renowned pianist to me. After 3 months of testing period, I could become her student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
Every student is unique. I try to unerstand their individual interests and abilities before I design the teching style that would be most productive and enjoyable. Providing a solid foundation and understanding of musical principles is what I strive to achieve with my students. I prefer to be an inspiring and enthusiastic coach. The student should not feel pressured or constricted. I try to create an environment in which students can feel comfortable to relax and develop their own creativity while learning. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My biggest accomplishment was memorizing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata to perform at a recital. I practiced that song for nearly a year and performed with various other students at our yearly recital. It's 201 measures long with 3 parts and takes about 15 minutes to play. To this day that is the longest piece I've memorized in it's entirety.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The most difficult thing to master is playing both hands at once in time with each other (or something offset with each other). I recommend when learning to play that you start with Heart and Soul to get the feel of your left hand moving separately from your right hand. If you practice enough, you will get the feel for it and be prepared for more advanced pieces. There are also finger exercises for left and right hand movement to help the student overcome this difficulty.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Do they have an interest in piano? Are they capable of learning new things on their own? Do they have the fortitude to not give up when they make mistakes? Generally, if they are motivated to learn and desire to do so, they are ready! Being in a supportive environment even when they make mistakes is also crucial to a child's ability to stay at the instrument.
When will I start to see results?
If you or your child are learning, being able to show off small songs and scales should be fairly quick. The early days are very important for learning fingering and reading sheet music. Once the student has an understanding of the basics, learning a small song is just around the corner. I would say a few weeks to months (depending on how often lessons are) they should be ready for their first small performance!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always practice for at least a consecutive hour a day. My personal go to is to learn one hand, then the other, then play the song at a slow pace with a metronome so you can get the style down. Once you've done that, start speeding up to the tempo of the song until you can play the entire thing! I prefer to memorize my music, but if you must use the sheet, have someone turn the pages for you or learn good times to turn the page yourself. Usually it's best to memorize the passages right before and after the page turn so you can find a good break and don't mess up the piece.
