Piano Lessons in Janesville. Amazing Teachers.

I am very passionate about student success. My students not only learn how to play piano, but also how to use practicing strategies they learn in piano lessons in other areas of their lives. My students leave lessons feeling accomplished and motivated to practice.

I began playing the piano when I was 3 years old in Japan. I have the Yamaha certification of piano instructor, which I passed the exam when I was 16. I played in many music festivals held in the city as the pianist and competed in many youth competitions.

I was diagnosed with tendinitis when I was 15 and I was unable to play competitively after that. However, I still enjoy playing the piano and love teaching the joy of being able to play the piano to let the heart out. It’s relaxing and exhilarating at the same time.

In addition, practicing the piano is great for brain development especially for younger children. However, it doesn’t matter if you are young or old, playing the piano is great for brain health and mental health as well. I look forward to working with kids, adults or seniors!

I'm offering individual piano lessons to anyone who would love to explore their musical abilities. I enjoy sharing my passion and knowledge in music with the students and help them find out their own musical pathways, whether it's going to be professional or just a hobby and a joy in life. I teach according to each student's individual strengths and learning styles and in the process, help each individual grow in their musical individuality and thinking process.

Throughout my teaching journey previously in Austria and Singapore, I've worked with students of all ages and it has allowed me to gain experience teaching in different capacities.

Number one is we always have fun, though we do a lot of hard work too! Lessons are split between technical/theoretical music study, and live performance practice. Emphasis is on gaining skills in coordination and dexterity, understanding the theory behind compositions, and finding individual expression with each piece. Technique exercises follow the Dozen A Day series; Lessons, Sight-Reading, and Theory from Faber & Faber; skills are applied to a performance song of the students' choosing. Students generally select a song at their level in either Classical, Jazz or Contemporary style. All students are required to practice at least 5 mins a day, every day. Each performance piece is later performed live in concert.
