Yoichi
Trusted teacher
If you are interested in playing jazz, and learning from a NYC-based jazz musician who happens to be in Tokyo? I can help! The best way to learn Jazz is studying with an active player. My name is Yoichi. I am a jazz pianist based in New York City but due to Covid19 situation, I currently live in my hometown, Tokyo. I can find ways to fit your needs to be a better Jazz player through my experience both performing with top players such as Ornette Coleman and Pharoah Sanders and teaching at college. Monthly rate is also available.

Great teacher and pianist! Very recommended!
Yoichi is an amazing pianist. As someone with no experience playing Jazz, I found the first lesson very helpful. He brought lead sheets and explained how Jazz music is performed, walked me through some chord structures and gave me some structure for developing a practice routine. He was also very accommodating about our meeting location. I'm looking forward to future lessons with him.
