Welcome! Thank you for being here.
As a classical soprano and voice teacher, I aim to connect with you through the arts, reflecting on what it is to be human - it is a sincere joy and privilege to continue my work in this field as I grow. Please feel free to contact with me with any questions, ideas and feedback. I hope to see you at a performance, or in a voice lesson.

With Yasuko Oura, piano It is because the nightingale Has sung throughout the night, That from the sweet sound Of her echoing song The roses have sprung up. She was once a wild creature, Now she wanders deep in thought; In her hand a summer hat, Bearing in silence the sun's heat, Not knowing what to do.
