こんにちは、 Hello, 你好
Shirokane Music Lesson in Shirokanedai, Minato-ku, Tokyo.
Our aim is to make learning music fun, where singing lots of songs, playing the piano and learning musical instruments is not just an academic pursuit, but something that makes life worth living.
However, it's not all fun and games, and the lessons focus on the basics, making the school suitable for children, newcomers and adults who are just starting out again.
In our class, you can learn both singing and piano. We especially encourage children to enjoy playing the piano and singing together. We also always have solfege lessons. If you would like a one-lesson system, you can take a lesson at either location.
At the end of the lesson, We like to sing a nursery rhyme .
We support your spiritual growth!
We do not oblige our students to practice. However, we give solfege lessons, so they can enjoy practising because they become good at reading music, listening to sounds, rhythm and singing!
In the future, you can continue to enjoy music even if you are involved in club activities, clubs or other music activities other than piano.
Voice
The combination of lessons is up to you, such as piano lessons once a week and singing lessons the other two, but solfege is always taught.
About songs (vocal music)
●We offer a wide range of support, from basic vocal methods (pronunciation methods, voice training methods) to full-fledged opera singing.
We will teach you in detail how to pronounce your voice without getting tired even for long periods of time, and how to use your head and whole body.
●Pitch
●Language (Italian, German, French, English, Japanese) pronunciation
●For children, we will not only strengthen their solfege pitch and visual singing ability, but also teach them how to pronounce vocalizations and sing, with the aim of stabilizing their pitch.
Regarding songs, we sing our favorite songs (nursery rhymes, children's song collections, musical numbers, etc.)
In addition to the above, we also handle various auditions (choral, opera, musical, etc.) and competition preparation.
As an instructor myself, I have won many auditions (passed many operas, including Shiki Theater Company, etc.) and have won awards at competitions, so we believe we can teach our students how to respond to their students' needs, such as how to choose songs and how to behave.
Of course, we can teach children who have a bright future, or those who want to start teaching, from the vocalizations onwards.
Solfege is
a way to make it easier to practice reading music correctly, hearing notes, and singing notes.
Vocal Training
⚫︎voice-training-courses
You can start with group lessons.
Classes include vocalisation, simple exercises for vocalisation and singing pop and children's songs.
⚫︎ Pre-piano & English classes
Coming soon!
⚫︎ For pre-school piano lessons (generally from around 3 to 6 years of age),
Lessons cover the basics such as notes and rhythm, which are essential to keep in mind as they begin to play the piano.
Using stationery and toys suitable for children, such as colouring and stickers, lessons can be given in a concentrated and playful way.
As these are private lessons, we analyse what you can do first, regardless of your age, and then teach you to become even better at it.
Touching the piano is also important, but with a variety of changes, such as developing rhythm for children who are good at rhythm, teaching notes to children who are good at singing, and so on.
⚫︎Beginning piano students, general piano
Lessons begin with an emphasis on solfege (learning to read music, basic knowledge of music, etc.).
Learning solfege will enable you to practice on your own, which is especially necessary for children.
Piano is expensive, for example, to buy an instrument.
So, if you decide to start! Once you have decided to do so, you need to hurry up and make sure you have a thorough grounding in the basics.
You can play more and more developing playing , but first we will ensure that you have a thorough grounding in the basics, such as reading music, listening to sounds and singing.
Basic technique books are used to train the fingers well.
A performance music book is also used.
⚫︎intermediate and advanced piano
This course is for children aiming for competitions (to achieve higher positions in PTNA, Burgmüller competitions, etc.) and for intermediate (sonatina and above) and advanced students.
Ms Wada organized this course.
Piano
Music that makes you smarter
Music that makes you smarter Not just at our school, but kids who learn instruments or music develop their brains.
They read sheet music, understand it, and move their right and left hands. If they make a mistake, a different sound comes out.
They can't play it correctly without practice. Playing an instrument like this helps build concentration, patience, and listening skills.
Additionally, starting at a young age has the advantage of developing musical ear and improving hearing, making it easier to learn piano or other instruments later on, thereby lowering the barrier to music.
However, we do not recommend forcing children to practise instruments.
Instead, we recommend starting with enjoyable activities like singing, rhythmic movement, or other musical play, and gradually introducing lessons.
Even if they cannot play well, their brains are still developing.Playing well is not the goal.
Our lessons aims to make music a source of joy for each individual.
This enriches life, and we hope that students will continue to enjoy music throughout their lives, improving steadily over time.
Piano
or Electric piano?
The majority of our students have an electronic piano at home. There is nothing wrong with an electronic piano, but if you are going to buy one, we recommend that you purchase an electronic piano with 88 keys.
The trend is towards lifelong piano practice on an electronic piano. The fingers and body will be used much differently than on a conventional piano, but we hope that you will also learn to use the piano the way it was meant to be used.
From T-kun's mother
My child gets bored easily and is restless during lessons, but Ms. Harada always treats him with a kind smile and positive words.Thanks to her kindness, my child enjoys taking lessons and looks forward to seeing her every time. Sometimes he was not able to practice as much as he would like due to a lot of homework at school, but the she is flexible and gives priority to the student's love of music. Of course, the lessons are not only fun, but also teach the fundamentals.In addition to piano lessons, he also has solfege and singing time, and it is a luxurious experience to be able to listen to her powerful and beautiful voice right up close.
From S.
I enjoy my lessons with Ms. Harada very much and the lesson time seems to go by very quickly.Also, I used to play by myself without looking at sheet music, but she carefully taught me the basics and how to read sheet music, and the number of pieces I can play has been increasing rapidly.
Violin
The violin is a flourishing instrument in an orchestra.It uses the right and left hands differently, which also stimulates the right and left brains and nurtures the brain.
Many families choose it over the piano when they are young, as the instrument is smaller and the performance is not as loud in the home.
In children, many private primary schools and other schools introduced this system early on, and music festivals are also held.
They can also expect to be active in famous private secondary schools and other club activities afterwards.
Even after university or working life, you can play and interact in many fields, such as in small instrumental ensembles.
