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.

In conclusion

How did you like the piano version of Queen’s big hit? With its ability to produce delicate tones, powerful sounds, and even percussive attacks, the piano pairs wonderfully with rock! Since these arrangements adapt full band performances for solo piano, some scores have a higher note density and are more challenging.

Try enjoying the music in a way that suits you—for example, start by practicing just the melody and the left-hand bass that marks the beat.
