Hi, I'm Machiko! My music adventure started when my mother took me to a local music class when I was years old. There, I danced and sang freely with friends. When I was seven, I had a strict teacher who would poke my fingers with her pencil when I made mistakes. I was horrified and immediately asked my mother if I could have a different teacher. Since then, I have had piano teachers who nurtured my love for the piano. Experiencing two different types of teachers inspired me to become the latter, creating a fun and comfortable environment for students to fully enjoy piano and music.

The piano has always been there for me, whether I'm happy, sad, or feeling creative. I discovered my gift for music because of my parents, who took me to music classes and piano lessons. I'm grateful that I can express myself my love of the piano, and you will be able to do that as well. I want you or your child to experience the positive feelings that I gained through playing the piano.
