Kathrine Leong Piano Lessons
About Me.
Currently, I offer private piano lessons in multiple languages (English, Japanese, and Mandarin) in the Tokyo, Kawasaki, and Yokohama areas. You have the option to choose lessons at your home, in a studio, or online.
Whether your musical interests lean towards classical, jazz, pop, or maybe just your favorite piece, feel free to get in touch. I'm here to create a personalized lesson plan tailored to your needs, guiding you towards your musical aspirations! :)
Profile
I started learning piano at the age of 6, beginning with a classical background. I then pursued my music degree in contemporary music (jazz, pop, etc.) at UCSI University in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In the year 2019, I received my Bachelor's in Contemporary Music. Meanwhile, I also hold qualifications in ABRSM Piano Grade 8, both in practical and theory.
Experience
I have almost 9 years of teaching experience in Malaysia, Singapore, and Japan, with students of all ages, from kids to adults, ranging from beginner to advanced levels. This includes teaching special needs students and junior music courses, preparing students for exams (ABRSM/Trinity) and nurturing students' general interest in music.
Languages
Drawing from my cultural background in Malaysia, I am proficient in Mandarin, English, Cantonese, and fluent in Japanese and Malay. Up until now, I have taught students from various countries, including China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, India, and more.
On stage
Classically trained from the age of six and a graduate in contemporary music, I keep performing alongside teaching. It is the part of my practice students see least and benefit from most: how a piece is prepared, how nerves are settled before the first note, and how music is shaped for a room that is listening.
Services
I enjoy incorporating music games (Kodaly method) and arts into my lessons, regardless of your age! (I believe learning through play is highly effective.)
I don't only teach “music knowledge.” I value cultural exchange with my students. Through lessons or specific pieces, we can share our languages, songs, backgrounds, and more!
Whether you're preparing for exams or pursuing music as a hobby, my ultimate goal for students is to find JOY in every lesson. While learning an instrument can sometimes be challenging, I'll use my experience to guide you, and together, we'll overcome any hurdles. :)

Events
To provide my students with a well-rounded musical education, I organize events like piano recitals every year. I believe that learning music goes beyond just playing the piano—it's about developing overall musicianship and a deeper appreciation for music as a whole.
