Music Education
Music has enriched my life and has taken me to many places in Japan and abroad. Passing on the art of enjoying music to the next generation of children is a different kind of enjoyment to performing. In the UK, I use piano lessons as my main method of teaching music literacy and often preparing for ABRSM exams. Currently, I am working on providing online harmonica tuition as well. on the knowledge of music making and harmonica playing skills. Developing music literacy and music for everyone.
