Writing a Studio Policy || for Piano Teachers || Pianist Misa

In today's video I talk about writing a studio policy if you're teaching from home or from your private studio. It's very important to address some of these points and be upfront about them with students and their parents so that everyone is clear about the rules if they want to study with you. I hope this is helpful to some of you! 🎹 A B O U T M E 🎹 Hi, I'm a Japanese classical pianist and educator based in Malaysia.

Taking a break and feeling guilty? Osaka mini vlog || Pianist Misa

Hi everyone! My video is finally up! In today's video, I share some of my thoughts about feeling guilty while on holidays as a musician (or artist, or any creative professionals)! Apologies for the terrible focus in the first part of the video!! I really hope you enjoy this as I think we can all treat ourselves nicer and take a break once in a while! Featuring Julian (my husband!) in the vlog! I mentioned Catherine from Katnipp in this video, who is one of my favourite creators!! I follow her on Patreon and have bought some of her products!

Regret || Original piece for Piano Solo || Pianist Misa

I'm so excited to share another original composition with you! This piece started out as an improvisation but I decided to re-work it as a composition. It starts with a poignant mood of regret but there is some hope. Hope you like it!

Spring Water || For Solo Piano || Pianist Misa

This is a little piano piece I wrote a while ago called "Spring Water" for solo piano. I'm so excited to share some original compositions with you, I hope you like it! I'm still experimenting with improving my audio but I'm trying a few different ways until I find a workable solution. Hopefully I can share that with you too for those of you with space constraints. 🎹 A B O U T M E 🎹 Hi, I'm a Japanese classical pianist and educator based in Malaysia.

Safari by Denes Agay || Pianist Misa

"Safari" by Denes Agay, from Joy of Boogie and Blues, Book 1. This is going to be a part of a new series for junior repertoire on my channel. I'll be uploading pieces that I think might appeal to piano teachers and students so that they can open their horizon and learn a variety of styles.

Making music with a hand-cranked music box || Pianist Misa

In this video, I tried to make some music using a hand-cranked music box I got from ebay. A great idea for some creative music making! The model I have has plastic gears but it's no longer listed, so I'll link a similar model if you're interested: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Wingostore-30-Notes-Hand-Crank-Music-Box-Movement-with-Copper-Gear-DIY-Make-Your/323177276663?hash=item4b3edde4f7:g:4B4AAOSwNSJa-L1E 🎹 A B O U T M E 🎹 Hi, I'm a Japanese classical pianist and educator based in Malaysia.
