Piano Studio Andante
Thank you for visiting my web site
My Classroom is full now. I can not accept any students at this moment.
Lesson concept:
In my classroom, I offer a wonderful musical arts experience in a professional and lively atmosphere that cultivates a lifelong passion for playing the piano. While I provide private piano lessons to students from age 3 to adult beginner students, I also teach advanced learners.
I hope my students will feel the great pleasure through piano performances. I belive that each person has an unique music inside of his/her heart, and through that gift of music, every person can beome a happier, more confident and more creative person! Let's enjoy to play the piano with beautiful sounds you make.
- My goal as a teacher is to help students to enjoy playing the piano throughout their life. In order to achieve that, I have a variety of repertoire that they can choose. My studio is only 3 minute-walk from Kyodo station on Odakyu-line or 7 minute-walk from Miyonosaka station on Setagaya-line.
- I have a deep understanding of American standard piano education.
- I studied under several brilliant musicians, including Gorgy Sandor, who was a famous pupil of Bartók and Koday.
- Note-reading, sight-reading, music theory can be included in lessons.
