10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderKepiko
Graduated from a music university with a major in early childhood education. In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher, which had a significant influence on me. Since then, I have spent 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, and in Singapore I worked as a music teacher while promoting Japanese culture, engaging with many children. As an editor, I also worked on planning and editing in the editorial department of a grade-level magazine. Drawing on my experience and learning so far, I hope to deliver articles that are useful to everyone. My hobbies are music, the outdoors, and reading.
Accompanist / Piano InstructorYuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.
