Hello :) My name is Ayari and I am a saxophonist currently based in Yokosuka/Yokohama/Tokyo area. I lived and studied in Canada for about a decade and have just recently returned to Japan. I am fluent in English and Japanese. I have a BMus from a university in Canada and would be delighted to offer you saxophone lessons. My degree is in classical music but I would be happy to work with any style or genre of music! I have a lesson place just a short walk from Kenritsudaigaku station but if it does not work well for any students or their families, I am pretty flexible on locations. I am also experienced in online lessons and would be happy to meet online instead (or hybrid with in-person lesson depending on your schedule). Feel free to send me a message and I am looking forward to meeting you! All ages and levels are welcomed :) I can also accommodate a group lesson!

I teach at Yoyogi Uehara Music School. My violin lessons provide students affordable private lesson and customize the specific goals, needs and aspirations of each student of all age and experience.
Violin lessons can be offered in either English or Japanese.

For kids
Violins come in many sizes and it is important to use the correct size to produce pleasing sounds. Yoyogi Uehara Music School carries all sizes of violins.

At your first lesson, I will determine which size is the best using our instruments. We have violins for rent, or we will be happy to recommend where to buy your own violin.

Music is a wonderful thing which can help to heal people’s heart and give people energy! You can learn English and Music at the same time in my class. I believe that it will be fun to learn and grow with me in this music world.
Piano is easy to learn and you might get a chance to create your own music by it .

Hello, I am Kathrine from Malaysia! :)

I am a professional piano teacher with 10 years of teaching experiences in Malaysia, Singapore, and now in Japan!
I provide private piano lesson in English, Mandarin, Japanese, and Cantonese, mainly in Tokyo, Kawasaki, and Yokohama area.

Here are some of the things you can expect from my lessons:
I enjoy incorporating music games (Kodaly method) and arts into my lessons, regardless of your age! (I believe learning through play is highly effective.)
I don't only teach "music knowledge." I value cultural exchange with my students. Through lessons or specific pieces, we can share our languages, songs, backgrounds, and more!
Whether you're preparing for exams or pursuing music as a hobby, my ultimate goal for students is to find JOY in every lesson. While learning an instrument can sometimes be challenging, I'll use my experience to guide you, and together, we'll overcome any hurdles. :)

Feel free to contact me if you are looking for a piano teacher in your native language! 😊
Thank you.

A professional/experienced drummer that can teach from beginners to intermediate, and advanced drummers.

I am very passionate about coaching the basic but quite important methodology/exercise for playing drums such as rudiments, kick drum exersize with METRONOME, which are the areas most of the beginner drummers tend to skip. even experienced drummer would not know how to apply those rudiments patterns to real drums play.

Taiko Drumming is both a traditional instrument and an innovative medium for making contemporary music.
I am Eva, a professional Taiko Drummer, and I have playing the Taiko drums for 30 years.

Lessons will be taught online on weekdays and on-site in central Tokyo on weekends, in groups. Private lessons can be arranged upon request.

Here is my profile:

Born in Tokyo, Japan, Eva was raised by a family of scholars and artists with mixed German and Japanese heritage. From a young age, she learned how to play piano after her father introduced her to classical music, while she simultaneously learned Taiko after her mother introduced her to the Japanese arts. After graduating from the International School of the Sacred Heart in Tokyo, Japan, she attended Cornell University in New York, USA, where she earned a B.A. in Philosophy. While attending Cornell, she joined the Cornell University Percussion Ensemble. The following year, she co-founded the Taiko drumming student organization called Cornell Taiko (YAMATAI) and she was the lead drummer and Musical Director. After graduating from Cornell at the young age of 22, she returned to Japan and started performing professionally. She started her solo career a year later.

Eva is also trained in Japanese folk dance (with a focus on male styles) and has a passion for street dance and locking. She joined an Awa dance team affiliated with the prestigious Koenji Awa Dance Association and made her way to become one of the top female dancers in Japan.

Today, she brings Japanese taiko drumming and song to a brand new context of pop music and also performs with many distinguished artists, musicians, dancers, and Taiko drummers across multiple genres. Eva does not only perform using taiko, she also uses a number of other instruments that have a distinct flavor of the Japanese environment including Koto (Japanese Harp), Voice, and Piano. Eva also works in the field of education and teaches taiko drumming workshops to both children and adults and is also involved in humanitarian efforts such as raising awareness for the disabled.

Her music, dynamic performances, and selfless spirit continue to inspire not only her many fans but all who witness her performances all over the world.

​In 2023, her original music was published by Harper Collins Publisher and she was also the cover image of their music textbook. In 2024, her original music was utilized by Cambridge International Curriculum, used in over 160 countries and 10,000 schools, which sets a global standard for education, and is recognized by universities and employers worldwide.
