EXPLORE MUSIC THROUGH PIANO PLAYING
A graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, I offer private piano lessons at my teaching studio in Narimasu, Itabashiku, Tokyo. In my lessons I strive to teach more than simply how to play the piano. My goal is to help students understand how music works, how to understand it, and how to create it yourself. I take a holistic approach to teaching, incorporating lessons in proper piano technique, listing skills, rhythm and harmony games, good practice habits and techniques, and the history of music, among other things. Above all else I aim to make the lessons as interesting and useful as possible.

About Me
I am a Sydney born composer and piano teacher, now living in Tokyo, Japan. Entranced by the music of the 1960's, in particular Rock and Blues muic, I began my piano studies at the age of 16. After hearing the music of great romantic composers such as Liszt, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff, I trasitioned to playing classical music. For 4 years after graduating from high school I dedicated myself to studying piano and music theory. I was eventually accepted into the Sydney Conservatorium of Music where I graduated with a Bachelor of Music Studies in 2008. I have been teaching and composing since then.
Education
In 2003 I received my Associate Diploma in Piano Performance from the Australian Music Examinations Board. I then went on to study a Bachelor of Music Studies at the University of Sydney in Australia. I graduated in 2008.
Experience / Qualifications
I have run private piano teaching practices since 2010. I am also the creator of klavieronin.com, a piano practice resources website.

As a violin teacher, my goal is to create a positive learning environment while cultivating the student’s love for music. I believe in developing music-reading as well as ear-training skills in my student’s music education. I work hard to tailor each lesson to meet the individual student’s musical goals, level and learning style. I have experience teaching students from age 3 to adult and from absolute beginner to college-level students. As a conservatory trained violinist, I teach a solid foundation in violin technique, theory and repertoire. I currently maintain a private violin studio in Yokohama and one in my home in Kawasaki. I can teach in both English and Japanese. Learning to play the violin is a lifelong process. Music can lead us to new opportunities, meet interesting people and travel to unique places. Everyone can learn to play the violin. It is never too late to start! I look forward to being a part of you or your child’s musical journey.

Shakuhachi is a traditional Japanese bamboo flute.
It is unique in historical sense, Shakuhachi was played in Edo period, not as a musical instrument but a tool for Buddhism training.
It also has very unique character as a wind instrument, and there is very satisfying pleasure to play it.

In this class, we would like to share the joy and mindfulness of Shakuhachi playing.
It is sometimes hard to make sound with Shakuhachi, but there is so much to be inspired by feeling your breath turning into the sound, by playing the instrument.

Koudou is a professional Shakuhachi player, who has finished both the Bachelor and Master course at the Tokyo University of the Arts.
Along with playing in concerts and lives, he also gives lessons daily and teach in workshops for beginners more than 50 times a year.
