about us
Hello!
In these online lessons, we ultimately aim to develop the ability to read sheet music and compose music independently. We provide careful support not only in performance techniques, but also in how to read music and how to structure practice, so even beginners can learn with confidence.
Our aim is to help you experience the joy of playing music with your own hands through daily practice. Improve steadily at your own pace, without forcing yourself.
Lessons are conducted in either English or Japanese
