I’m a musician, pianist, piano technician, and audio producer with a background in both performance and modern music production. I studied Independent Music Production at UCLA as well as Piano & Keyboard Performance at the Tokyo School of Music & Dance. Over the years, my work has included arranging, recording, programming, virtual instruments, as well as navigating software like Logic Pro and others.

My teaching style is patient, practical, and centered around helping students understand music in a way they can actually use. I especially enjoy working with beginners, adult learners, songwriters, and producers who want piano and theory to feel less intimidating. In lessons, I like to connect the basics—rhythm, chords, melody, ear training, reading, and technique—to real musical situations, so students can see how each skill helps them play songs, write music, or build better tracks.

I have experience helping friends, collaborators, and developing musicians in one-on-one settings with piano basics, chord progressions, arranging, and production concepts. I also work professionally around acoustic pianos through my piano service business, which gives me a practical understanding of the instrument beyond just playing it. My goal is to help students build confidence, understand what they are hearing, and make steady progress without feeling overwhelmed.

Approved Subjects

Music Production

Music Production

I have been working with digital audio workstations longer than just about anything else , getting started with Garageband when I was just 7 years of age. I studied Independent Music Production through UCLA and have years of hands-on experience producing, arranging, editing, and mixing music in Logic Pro. My work includes MIDI programming, virtual instruments, recording, mixing, vocal editing, piano arranging, and building finished tracks from small musical ideas. I can help beginners understand the production process in a clear, practical way, from setting up a session to shaping sounds and arranging a song. I especially enjoy working with musicians, songwriters, and new producers who want to turn their musical ideas into something finished and listenable.
Piano

Piano

I studied Piano & Keyboard Performance at the Tokyo School of Music & Dance and have over 20 years of experience playing piano. My background includes performance, arranging, music theory, ear training, and modern keyboard-based music production. I especially enjoy helping beginners build confidence with rhythm, chords, reading basics, technique, and learning real music they care about. As a piano technician, I also bring a practical understanding of how the instrument works and how touch, tone, and listening all connect.
