Maya plays both Violin and Piano part of "The Girl with the Flaxen Hair" by Debussy

Violin

Hi! My name is Maya and I was born in Japan. I graduated from the Juilliard School in 2001 and have been a violinist of New Jersey Symphony since 2007, and joined the Opera Philadelphia Orchestra in 2022.

Did you just pick up the violin for the first time? Have you been working on some pieces but need further help? Are you taking an audition for your school orchestra? 

Or are you interested in learning Japanese language but not sure how to start? Do you want to learn Hiragana and Kanji so that you can enjoy Japanese Manga? にほんごをべんきょうしたいですか？

I believe having a solid foundation will give students a big advantage at every stage of their development.

I make sure to go through every detail to help you achieve your musical goals. Step by step; beautiful sound, good rhythm, comfortable posture, precise intonation... it’s a long journey,  but I patiently guide each student toward the discovery of your strength.

I look forward to sharing my joy of teaching with you soon!

Her former violin students are in some of the prestigious schools including the Juilliard School, Yale School of Music and Special Music School at Kaufman Music Center.

Maya is such a talented violinist and great at instructing! She is patient and encouraging at any level of proficiency, and always aware of even the subtlest adjustments in posture, bowing, etc that need to be made to improve playing. I’ve been having great sessions with her! Also, the flexibility of my sessions in-person and/or on Zoom/Skype has been perfect for my full-time work schedule.

Maya is a wonderful teacher and violinist! I really enjoyed her class, and I learned a lot! She is not only focused on technique but also values the piece's expression. I have made great progress with her within a few months. I highly recommend her as a violin teacher! :)

Maya has been my son, Preston’s, Japanese teacher for two years. Preston has enjoyed learning and says Maya is a great teacher. Maya is also patient and flexible. For those looking to enrich their child or teens learning of Japanese Maya is a wonderful teacher. I highly recommend Maya :)!

Micah was very happy with his first class.

My son is very excited about his first session and can’t wait to learn more. Maya is very nice and makes sure to make herself available for her clients.

Maya is an excellent teacher. She is patient and explains things clearly.

I’ve been learning Japanese with Maya for months now. She is so fun to study with, and her teaching is easy to follow. I totally recommend her!

She like you ! And will return next week.

Maya has been my daughter’s violin teacher for 5 years. She teaches in both English and Japanese, which expands my daughter's musical knowledge in 2 languages. She is patient and works well with kids. My daughter enjoys learning from Maya.

Maya has been my violin and piano teacher for about 7 years. She’s very patient and fun to work with, but sometimes strict for what I work on. We have to prepare for the annual students recital she has in the spring, but i feel I’ve learned a lot from her. She’s my favorite teacher!

My daughter had Ms. Maya for 6 years. Ms. Maya has many experiences to teach and to play concerts. She is kind and gives you lessons that is easy to understand for small kids to grownups. I highly recommend you Ms. Maya. Enjoy her lessons !!!
