Piano
Biography:
I am an internationally active piano educator with over 18 years of online teaching experience, I having taught more than 800 students worldwide.
My students come from diverse cultural backgrounds, including Japan, China, Taiwan, Azerbaijan, and Bangladesh, and range widely in age. I create an inclusive learning environment where students connect through music beyond national and cultural boundaries.
I currently teach students both in Japan (Nagano) and internationally, including Boston, USA. I have extensive experience teaching students living overseas, and one of my Boston-based students has received an award in a local competition.
Drawing on my international experience, I provide piano instruction tailored to students living abroad as well as those preparing for international competitions and overseas music education.

What do you like most about CIMC?
I would like to see more proactive efforts to recognize faculty, such as adding faculty rankings and recognizing faculty award recipients who have participated over multiple years.
