    Piano lessons in English, Mandarin, Japanese, Cantonese~ (Tokyo/Kawasaki/Yokohama)

    Hello, I am Kathrine from Malaysia! :)

    I am a professional piano teacher with 8 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.

    About Me

    I started learning the piano at the age of 6, beginning with a classical background. I then pursued my music degree in contemporary music (jazz, pop, etc.) at UCSI University in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In the year 2019, I received my Bachelor's in Contemporary Music. Meanwhile, I also hold qualifications in ABRSM Piano Grade 8, both in practical and theory.

    I have almost 8 years of teaching experience in Malaysia, Singapore, and Japan. I have experience teaching piano to students of all ages, from kids to adults, ranging from beginner to advanced levels. This includes teaching special needs students and junior music courses. I am also experienced in both preparing students for exams (ABRSM/Trinity) and nurturing students' general interest in music.

    My teaching approach integrates the Kodaly and Orff methods, ensuring engaging and enjoyable lessons. Drawing from my cultural background in Malaysia, I am proficient in Mandarin, English, Cantonese, and fluent in Japanese and Malay. Up until now, I have taught students from various countries, including China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, India, and more.

    Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
    Hey! My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels. For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that! Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;) I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example. The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible. See you soon! Richard PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)
