Aki Saito Bio

 

Music has always been a very important self-expression tool for me.

I started playing my mother's piano freely when I was 2 years old.

At the age of 5, I started taking piano lessons.

Soon, music became the main focus of my life.​ 

After graduating from the piano conservatory high school, I continued my

higher education in music at Nihon University College of Art where I obtained a Bachelor of Art in Music - Piano Performance.

 

I moved to the U.S. to attend the Musician’s Institute - College of Contemporary Music in Los Angeles, California.

Right after my graduation, I landed the position of a keyboard player for the world famous singer Andy Williams. I’ve been on his world tours, TV / Radio shows, music videos as well as his regular shows.

I also have worked as a composer / arranger in projects including a TV animation, a Radio program, and a dance team competition.

 

I established Aki's Piano Studio in 2012. 

Since then, many students have been learning piano in classic, pop, Jazz and Blues, also piano arrangements and compositions.

 

I love teaching music! As a professional piano/keyboard player, I have so many things I want to share with students. My hope is that students will realize how wonderful of a gift it is to be able to play and create music.
