[Characteristics of specialized fields]

As for English, we use simple musical elements to visualize and teach invisible utterance sounds so that learners can speak with native pronunciation.

This makes it easier for the learner to modify the utterance method based on his / her own self-confidence, and makes it possible to learn utterances that are closer to the native language more quickly. Guidance on the production of jazz chants on children’s English for school English. Teaching that emphasizes the pronunciation of English songs and Mother Goose.

With regard to the piano, while incorporating technical guidance, we will give guidance that makes the piano fun from the bottom of the heart so that the learner’s piano performance will become a more expressive piano performance. Individual lessons are offered in both English and Japanese.
