Rancho Santa Margarita Piano Lessons for Beginners

Now Accepting Students!

“Is my child ready for piano lessons?”
“What if they don’t enjoy it, and I’ve spent so much on lessons?”

If these questions sound familiar, I’m here to provide a gentle way to introduce your child to the joy of playing the piano.

My Teaching Style

I may not be a professional pianist, but I’ve spent 5 rewarding years in San Diego teaching beginner piano to children with care and patience. I intentionally limit the number of students in my studio to ensure personalized, focused instruction tailored to each child’s needs.

My lessons are more than just learning to play. I incorporate music theory to help students build a deeper understanding and appreciation of music. I carefully choose lesson books that are specifically tailored to suit each student's unique learning style and goals. To celebrate their progress, I host 1–2 recitals each year at which students can showcase their growth. These events are a highlight for families and friends, with lively duets and group performances that bring everyone together.

A Personal Journey to Teaching

When I first moved to the U.S. from Japan, I wanted my daughters to experience the joy of learning piano. However, I was shocked by the high cost of lessons and unsure if they would even enjoy playing. Then, I found a teacher who wasn’t a professional pianist but taught with heart, patience, and dedication. Thanks to her guidance, my daughters began to love the piano.

When she relocated, I was inspired to bring that same passion for teaching into my community. I began teaching neighborhood children and, during the pandemic, further developed my skills by studying child psychology and online teaching methods.

Now in Rancho Santa Margarita

In 2024, I moved to Rancho Santa Margarita and am excited to welcome new students to my home studio. Located in a family-friendly neighborhood close to Arroyo Vista School, my studio is a warm, inviting space where children can explore and grow their love for music. Please note that I keep my studio small and will pause new admissions once I reach capacity.

"You never know what small step might open the door to something extraordinary."

Let that first step be a piano lesson for your child! Reach out today to learn more or to schedule a trial session. I look forward to meeting you and your little musician!
