MDA Piano Academy

MDA Piano Academy MDA Piano Academy is a place where students learn piano without tension or pressure. https://mdapianoacademy.wixsite.com/website-1

Healthy technique and musical understanding develop naturally through listening, movement, and time at the instrument. This studio approaches piano study as an integration of movement, perception, and musical structure. Piano learning here is treated as both a physical and artistic practice. Technique is developed in alignment with the body’s natural design, supporting ease, coordination, and clarity of sound. Lessons are not regarded as mere instruction, but as a space for exploration and creativity, where students actively engage in the learning process. Through thoughtful and flexible practice approaches, students learn not only how to play the piano, but how to connect with music independently beyond the studio. The learning environment is reflective, supportive, and oriented toward thoughtful, long-term musical growth.

What do table salt, dried jellyfish, and piano practice have in common? 🪼

More than you might think.

My newest Summer Interlude is out now.

Can someone who died 100 years ago still speak? 👻
Musicians do something rather strange when you think about it.

We bring someone else’s music back to life.
But whose voice are we actually hearing?

What do we lose when we replace experience with information?

You can read about it.
Watch it.
Study it.

But none of them is quite the same as being there.

A little moment from one of my concerts in Japan this summer.

Interpretation changes depending on our own state and the environment at that moment, and that isn’t new to me.

But recently, I felt I caught a glimpse of what is actually happening when we enter what people call “the zone.”

Maybe I finally saw something of the nature of that state.

There is no limit to expression, but that doesn’t mean forcing “what I want to express” into the music. I had never really understood where that boundary was.

Now I wonder if perhaps, when individual expression reaches a certain threshold, another dimension opens beyond it.

Maybe it is something very personal, but at the same time something that connects to everything, and perhaps that is why art, in any style, can reach people across time and have an endless life of its own.

Finding your own interpretation is an important part of performing.

But what happens when you go beyond it?

At my concerts in Japan this summer, I caught a glimpse of something I hadn’t experienced before.

I tried to put that experience into words.
