I draw from my childhood experience learning violin in Brazil, where I discovered how to enjoy music and, from that, how it could shape my own future. I am happy to teach students of any level—beginner, intermediate, or advanced—helping them develop technique, musical expression, and a lifelong love of playing. I’m from Japan and studied at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg. I am a professional violinist and a member of the Beija-flor String Quartet, with international experience as a soloist and chamber musician. I have performed at major festivals including the Salzburg Festival and Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, and my recordings include Mozart’s rediscovered Ganz kleine Nachtmusik KV648 with Deutsche Grammophon. I have received awards such as 1st Prize at the Zhuhai International Mozart Competition (China) and the Special Prize “Swabian Chamber Music” at the Leopold Mozart International Violin Competition (Germany).
