Private, Customized Piano Lessons Taught in English/Japanese by Concert Pianist

Studying piano is a beautiful, personal experience for people of all ages. Through my 8+ years of teaching students between ages 3 through 75, I have learned to adapt my teaching methods to suit each individual's learning style and personality.

My most important goal is to help my students achieve a deep appreciation for music, and I will help cultivate the skills necessary to express the music by building solid technique, understanding of music theory, and artistic coaching.

I strongly believe that if you cultivate the discipline and patience to learn an instrument, you can achieve anything else you set your mind to!

About Me

Although I was born in Japan, I was mostly raised in San Francisco, CA. I started playing the piano at the age of 3 and have performed all over the world at major concert halls including Carnegie Hall, Salle Gaveau, and in Europe, the US, and Japan. I have also performed with professional orchestras such as the California Symphony and Rochester Philharmonic. Since moving to Paris in 2020, I started an Ensemble which is Ensemble-in-Residence at the Fondation des Etats-Unis.

I began teaching more than eight years ago and love seeing my students grow in their passion and ability to play piano. I believe that with perseverance, hard work, and faith, it is possible to achieve anything, including playing the piano!

Que vous souhaitiez élever votre jeu de Chopin à un niveau supérieur ou jouer votre morceau préféré au piano, je suis là pour vous aider à atteindre cet objectif.

J'ai obtenu le Diplôme Supérieur de musique de chambre grâce à un concours et je suis actuellement inscrit dans un programme DEM en accompagnement au piano au CRR d'Aubervilliers. Avec ma formation en musicologie (Licence en musicologie), je suis en mesure de donner des cours particuliers en formation musicale, en harmonie et en histoire de la musique. Mon expérience couvre une vaste gamme d'âges et de parcours, allant des élèves de l'école primaire aux professionnels en reconversion, tels que des médecins à la retraite. Alors, qu'attendez-vous ? Réservez dès maintenant votre premier cours, et entamez votre voyage vers l'excellence pianistique. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whether you want to take your Chopin to the next level or play your favorite song on the piano, I can help you achieve your goal.

Roméo
Private piano lessons, music theory, technical and musical skills
My goal is to ensure that the student, whatever their age or musical level, learns not only to play and master their instrument but also to have fun even in the technical learning phase. The working methods revolve around knowledge of the instrument, technique, style, musicality but can also occasionally focus on historical contextualization if the student wishes to approach this approach. The repertoire offers endless avenues of work and great musical discoveries!

Sebastian
Piano/Keyboard Lessons (Music Theory, Aural Training, Sight Reading, Composition and Performance)
Music is a globally recognized form of expression that connects and unites us in various ways. As a musician, I have tried to inspire people from different walks of life to feel the joy and love of playing the piano and creating music. I have composed music for multiple bands, played for choirs, and accompanied many influential artists. I cleared the Grade 8 examination from Trinity College of Music, London in piano performance. My main goal as a music teacher is not just to provide training and lessons, but to inspire students to continue to learn and gain skills on their own and master the art of music composition. I offer classes both at the student's location and my own. My curriculum blends aural training, sight reading, performance, and composition (tailored to each student's proficiency level).

Ju Young
Private Classical Piano Lessons! All age and levels! (in English)
Hello! I am a 25-year-old South Korean student in Paris. I am currently enrolled at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris learning Classical Piano and in the course of the "Diploma Superieur de Execution". I started the piano at the age of 5. I was born in a musical family; both of my parents being opera singers and my sister a violinist. When I was 8 years old, my family moved to Budapest, Hungary, where I started to have lessons privately with professors at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music. In High-School, I enrolled at the Bartok Conservatory of Music in Budapest. I was awarded the Bachelors as well as the Master's Degree at the Franz Liszt Academy and have graduated with the Highest Honors in Piano Performance. I would like to share and teach what took me many years to learn in just a few months. I know that there are those who have and had difficulties like me learning the piano and feeling stuck or non-progressive, or not being able to improve. I have solutions to those problems. If you are one of those in need of quick and fast adjustments, please do not hesitate to contact me! I have a teaching experience of 6 years and all my students were those who needed assistance with international competitions, entrance exams, and general piano learning. If you have problems relaxing your arms, muscle pain, tiring back, or no energy in your fingertips, then I might be able to help you and fix those problems.

Luis
Pianist (CNSMDP graduate) and internationally experienced teacher offers piano lessons.
Hello! I offer piano lessons for all levels, and according to a method similar to that of the conservatory. Always oriented towards musical practice, together we will refine the strategy that suits you best. What I like most about individual lessons is to adapt the course to the needs of the student, like the teachers who marked my training. I believe that a student's progress depends a lot on his teacher. For this reason, I always give them the best of myself. Punctual and patient I think I have the facilities to transmit my know-how and above all I have the desire, the motivation and the pleasure to teach my passion. For those students who wish, preparation for an internationally renowned diploma (such as the ABRSM) is offered, depending on the level. The courses are given in various languages: including French, English or Spanish.

Gabriel
Piano lessons, harmony, composition, counterpoint
I give piano and music theory lessons with my own method. The music theory part is not purely theoretical but always mixed with practice. My method emphasizes the deciphering of scores, given that the objective is to allow the student to be as independent as possible thereafter. It will also have a technical aspect, but I prefer to have her work directly with pieces rather than dry exercises. I also give lessons in harmony, counterpoint and composition for those who would like to go further.

Jemma
Piano, Music Theory and Aural Lessons - all grades
I have over 10 years of teaching experience, both privately and in schools, catering to students of all ages, from children to adults. As a friendly and enthusiastic instructor, my goal is to ensure that every student finds joy in creating music and can work towards their personal goals—whether it's for the sheer enjoyment of music-making or to prepare for music exams. I'm also proficient in teaching music theory, which not only enhances musicianship but is also essential for students aspiring to reach higher levels in their musical journey. I hold a Bachelor of Music and a Master's degree from two prestigious London music institutions: the Royal College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music. Since then, I've been actively performing as a soloist and collaborating with various orchestras and ensembles worldwide.
