Happy to see the ornaments that I gave my students at the Winter Recital! :) I have been very busy and not feeling well since Thanksgiving so my piano room was a lot of recital containers and messy, but yesterday, after I taught the last student, I decided to put my Christmas tree finally! My tree is just 6 ft but it's my first time to put it in my new house. I cleaned up the piano room and made it before Christmas! I will keep it until the 2nd week of January since I put it up so late! Hope my students are playing Christmas pieces to Santa Claus tomorrow! Have a musical & wonderful Holidays!! </p><p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/290963/55b63b9a7980631e789c886d820ab528490a37a4/original/xmas-2023-piano-room-2.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>Reiko Music Pianotag:msreikopianolessons.com,2005:Post/73195202023-12-15T01:11:42-05:002023-12-15T01:14:29-05:00Winter Piano Recital 2023<p>Congratulations!

Yesterday, I opened the metronome app on my phone and the display was so dark… there was only one yellow ball in the black screen !

Even though I can't see the numbers well, the full moon was moving correctly and practiced with me. Let's practice with a metronome and don't miss any special display! ;) </p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/290963/95ce31c54f20550a21d5268d33209a5e7ed3ba0e/original/img-1418.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" />Reiko Music Pianotag:msreikopianolessons.com,2005:Post/72291742023-06-19T19:13:32-04:002023-07-15T00:52:04-04:00Fall 2023 Registration<p>Hi everyone!

He will come to Florida in end of the year so they started practicing their part since July. She watched the movie "Nodame Cantabile" (Do you know this movie? It's one of my favorite movies and recommend to everyone who love music!) and she wants to try this piece. For the violin part, I used to play violin but not professional! So I play the violin part with my digital piano, and she is playing her part with my grand piano. Playing duet is so fun! We learn a lot of things through this piece! ;)</p>

I was so excited and said YES!! She put her favorite stuffed bunny on her lap and sang & played the bunny song! It was very beautiful and nice lyrics! I could imagine that her bunny was jumping and singing with her! She also wrote down the music on her music notebook. Making music is a lot of fun! Let's enjoy music together!! :) </p>

I want to introduce one of my adult students. He just started learning piano last month. He first asked me if he should start playing piano and can improve his music skills in his age, but he has a goal that he wants to play one of the beautiful ballad songs in the future. :) Practicing every day in the evening at least 30 min is his routine. Almost one month since he started learning, and he has been improving a lot. Even though it's an on-line lesson, we enjoy the time through piano lessons! Let's challenge something with fun every day in our life! ;)</p>

Now I live in Florida. I have been teaching a little boy who lived in front of Central Park in Manhattan before I moved to FL. He has a little girl sister. We were keeping in touch even though we live different states. Since March 2020, I have been teaching via on-line. One day, I got a phone call from his mom and asked me a Skype lessons. We were so excited to start! He grew up and his little 3 years old sister wants to study piano too! Last month, his family moved to Texas from NYC, but we still can keep doing our lessons on Skype! We set up two devises and can see two screens. So far, he learned "Harry Potter's Theme", "Star Wars", and his favorite song "Old Town Road". :)<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/290963/ad29134cd861d106ac6c7fee52bd8acbc2d1358b/original/screenshot-271.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>Reiko Music Pianotag:msreikopianolessons.com,2005:Post/63476682020-06-09T15:00:43-04:002020-06-09T15:00:43-04:00Piano Trio with twin girls & their mom!<p>Yesterday, I taught piano twin girls via on-line and they performed "Spinning Tops" with their mom as piano trio!

It's almost June! Students are listening very well and trying to do everything what I taught. I really appreciate and proud of all of my students! Thank you so much! :) One of the students, Liam, has been practicing a few duet pieces with his mom like "Star Wars" etc.. Every week, he showed me a lot of progress.

Hope everyone is doing well and healthy! I have temporarily stopped teaching home/studio lessons for preventing the spread of COVID-19 and to protect the health and safety of all of my students! However, I have switched to Online lessons for my piano students since last week. ;) Some students are taking a break for a few weeks, but other students wanted to continue via Online like Facetime, Skype, etc. I set up the selfie stick stand with light in front of my grand piano. It works very well so far. If you are interested in Online piano lessons, please feel free to contact me. Please stay healthy, wash your hands, and looking forward to seeing in person again soon! Keep in touch! ;)</p>

I hope you had a wonderful time with your family & friends during a holiday time! My students gave me Christmas cards and thoughtful little gifts for me, thank you so much! I put them under my Christmas tree. In Christmas season, some of my students said "Why you have a small tree? My tree is much bigger!!!" Well... I have a small living room in my apartment right now, but some day, I will definitely upgrade my 6ft tree like yours! Anyway, I love children so much! During a holiday week, I miss my students, but I relaxed, turned on the mini electronic candles on my tree, and enjoyed playing Christmas songs by myself! :) Some of my students gave me their beautiful pictures with Christmas cards. I was thinking if I can make it smaller and make a Christmas ornament for my tree and hang it! Maybe next year... I would like to make my student tree! </p>
<p>I started teaching from New Years Day at 3PM! :) I am looking forward to resuming the lessons with all of my students fin 2020! Now Spring semester begins! Some of new students are contacting me already. I will try to find a slot for everyone! Please feel free to ask me anything if you have any questions.</p>
<p>Happy New Year! :)</p>

Most of my students started learning Christmas songs and enjoy playing! Jingle Bells, Silent Night, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel etc. Some little students who were beginners and played with only right hand last year, but this year they all challenged to play with making harmonies with their left hand! Sounds very good! They are very excited to perform in front of their family and friends on Christmas! </p>
<p>Also, as you know, "Frozen 2" just came out a few weeks ago! One of my students who just started learning piano really wanted to play the theme song, so I arranged and made the song easier for her. She has been practicing all the time and the parents told me that she is practicing everywhere: on the handle of the freezer, on the counter, on the floor and on the coffee table! Wonderful happy news!!! Santa is watching you!!! ;)</p>
<p>I made a big Christmas wreath this year and hang it on the door! Some little LED candles are coming soon! My sign of Piano Lessons parts are hidden though... Next time I will post my Christmas tree! Have a happy holiday week!! :)</p>

I want my students to study with a real piano in my lessons so I am very excited! Let's start learning piano with me! :)<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/290963/2cd416105ae5f87e17678e93495ddb0950ed706d/original/img-7057.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/290963/ead6e28e4fde14fd6b9e99c640d6760f92b4db1d/original/img-7086.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/290963/a651ca89add8a96c5b6b36191c40ce83e8563a50/original/img-7088.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>Reiko Music Pianotag:msreikopianolessons.com,2005:Post/56500792019-02-19T11:46:51-05:002019-03-08T21:54:39-05:00Congrats!!

This is Bose SoundTouch 10 (Bluetooth Wireless Speaker) which is an excellent sound!!! I usually used a small compact portable speaker which linked to my iPod Touch and have been using for over 10 years. It was okay and very convenient for carrying in my bag, but the quality of the new Bose speaker is amazing and the sound is very powerful! I will use it for my lessons and every day! Looking forward to listen & study music with my students from today! ;)</p>

I am happy to be visiting Japan this week. I went to the Yamaha Music Shop in Ginza today because I wanted to play the Hybrid Pianos. When I arrived at the Yamaha Music Shop, 3 interesting pianos caught my eye in the hallway. These pianos look like furniture: a dining table, a book shelf, and a... desk??? They were made by collaborating with the Chinese furniture company Mexarts. Last September, these 3 concept pianos won a Gold Idea Award at the Furniture China 2018 expo in Shanghai.<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/290963/8f3dbe79e3773c5ee0961e1c81c86c72ab54eae7/original/img-6889.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>"The A.round (pictured) features a curved tabletop with soft rounded edges and a leather key cover, and is designed to sit in the center of a living room so listeners can gather around the pianist." --- Japan Times</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/290963/0f9579a39b459723877b7c9d061f14b3351e8d24/original/img-6888.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>This looks like a CD/book shelf. The concept is "Memory". You can put some pictures on the shelf and play piano with a lot of old memories. "Re.mind leans against the wall and features a slim shelf, alluding to the way shelves often house nostalgic objects, books and artworks." --- Japan Times</p>
<p><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/290963/0c94da899152b5c60618ec9a14d6291325733c19/original/img-6890.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>I think the last one is the most functional. "Be.side, which sports a small side table, is for those who like to unwind with a little music in the bedroom before turning in." -- Japan Times </p>
<p>All of them are very interesting and If I were to buy one of them, I would choose the first round one and put it in the living room. They don't have a price right now but one of the customers said it would be over $10,000 since the wood is very beautiful.</p>
<p>Which one do you like? :)</p>

It was my first time to see Miami City Ballet. Really enjoyed the music of Tchaikovsky with a live orchestra for all Miami City Ballet performances! Also Kravis center is very beautiful! <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/290963/8fe16fba609c6a8041c059c99bb100e47911b804/original/img-6786.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/290963/96de4e91406b95bdd09b8806db97e9acdc1e9b51/original/img-6787.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">There was a big red Christmas tree in the hallway.</p>

And thank you for the Christmas gifts and cards from my students in FL!!! I would like to share the gift from one of them today. This is a treble clef hair clip. There are two parts, treble clef and a half note, and you can put it on your hair nicely. I think this is really nice gift for everyone who loves music! Also she personalized it!! ;) <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/290963/2b9f94f5d35d0e6f4689417ebdc8f98152415e47/original/img-6769.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/290963/0926421f1722c53b7ad6626ed7e43b76bfa44af2/original/img-6766.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/290963/09b05ae8138f04f2f634d2f4dc5e9e5699b9cd4e/original/img-6770.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>Reiko Music Pianotag:msreikopianolessons.com,2005:Post/55658012018-12-22T14:04:22-05:002018-12-22T14:04:22-05:00Happy Holidays!<p>Last year of December 23rd, I moved to Florida from NYC. I really appreciate that I have met a lot of great people here! My students are playing Christmas Songs on the piano and will have a little concert in front of their family on Christmas! Enjoy music! This year, I got a new tree (upgraded the height a little bit!) and now I have a cute cardinal on the top of tree! ;) My parrot was screaming a little bit though... Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy Holidays!</p>

There is an opening ceremony for Tony Kolens' art exhibition at 5:30pm. Mr. Kolens is one of the most impressive artists and also he plays trumpet. In the opening ceremony, we played a jazz piece "Autumn in New York" together! I also played a solo piece for Chopin etude after the duet. The exhibition is until November 15th. If you have a chance, you can see a lot of amazing Mr. Kolens' arts which are Koi, Horse, and more in the beautiful lobby! :) </p>

I moved to Florida from NYC last December. I like Florida! Weather is very nice in winter and I can see a lot of wild animals. I live with an Amazon parrot. His name is Andy. My husband and I sometimes go for a walk with him in a trail. :) In New York, I have taught about 60 students both private and group classes. We had annual student piano recital every year. My students improved a lot every year. Please enjoy my piano lesson videos! I live in Abacoa, Jupiter. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Let's enjoy playing piano together! :)</p>Reiko Music Piano
