A Passion for Teaching & Performing
Our love for piano began in childhood and led us to become professional pianists, educators, and lifelong enthusiasts.
Our journey has taken us from Japan to the U.S. and across Europe, where we embraced diverse teaching styles and cultural influences. With bachelor's and master's degrees in piano performance, we’ve won international competitions, studied at the Heidelberg-Mannheim State University of Music in Germany, and trained under world-renowned pianists Hans Graf in Vienna, Austria, and Nicole Henriot-Schweitzer and Gaby Casadesus in Paris, France. As concert pianists, we’ve performed worldwide, including in Japan, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Portugal, Monte-Carlo, and the U.S.
Drawing from our early learning, professional training, and international experiences, including 30+ years of expertise, we’ve developed a unique, musical-energy-stimulating, interactive approach to teaching.
Our mission is to make the piano a lifelong friend for our students, inspiring joy and creativity.
