Music is for Everyone
Kids
Give your child the best opportunity for learning music at an early age. Studies show, music in Early Childhood Education translates into higher test scores due to an increase in Cognitive Development.
Teens
Adolescence is a difficult time for any child. Give yours the tools they need to succeed. Not only do music lessons improve academic scores, but mastering an instrument does wonders for a teen’s self esteem.
Adults
Adults can learn piano too! Learning piano in adulthood keeps the mind working and studies show it staves off the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease as well as other degenerative neuro-cognitive disorders.

Minako has been a perfect balance of a firm, but a warm teacher to my two kids and other students. Such a talented pianist who supports children in engaging, and pursuing music, and also knows how to adjust her expectations accordingly. Highly recommended.
Minako is truly a top-notch class piano teacher who is a passionate and caring person. I have met her and her husband who are wonderful people to work with. Highly recommended for an honest and highly skilled piano teacher. Should stop by her new studio in Tustin.
I am so grateful my son’s guitar teacher not only makes learning fun but also shares his knowledge for music. I could not have found him a better place to learn guitar.
