We enjoy piano—performing, teaching, and composing. Piano has been our life's work and a true joy.

 

The mystery of the piano has fascinated us all our lives. That lifelong curiosity has taken us across different countries, cultures, and musical traditions, shaping how we see both music and life:

 

    Music and piano playing exist beyond the ordinary world. 

    Joy brings us there.

 

With over 30 years of professional experience, it is our pleasure to share with our students what our piano journey has revealed to us.

 

Every student's uniqueness is precious.

 

Our piano journey has taken us from Japan to Europe and the United States.

We earned bachelor's and master's degrees in piano performance, won prizes in international competitions, and studied at the Heidelberg-Mannheim State University of Music in Germany. Along the way, we studied with world-renowned pianists Hans Graf in Vienna, Austria, and Nicole Henriot-Schweitzer and Gaby Casadesus in Paris, France. Our performances have taken us to Japan, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Portugal, Monte-Carlo, and the United States.
