Tomoko Ariyuki
Piano Instructor
With a teaching experience spanning almost 30 years and three different continents, I have taught in music schools and colleges as well as given private lessons to children and adults of every level. I am a member of the MTAC (Music Teachers’ Association of California), which means all my students are eligible to take Certificate of Merit tests, a great way to assess progress. I am dedicated to teaching students the essentials of piano performance, reading music, and discovering the joy of making music. Private lessons ensure that each student has my undivided attention and can therefore progress at a level suited to his/her needs. Student recital available on a monthly basis in the PV Music House Recital Series.
