Yukiko.U 講師的自我介紹
講師休假中。
Hi, nice to meet you!
My name is Yukiko Uehara, and I am a trumpet tutor.
I am currently teaching in the south of Germany.
I am teaching trumpet, euphonium and horn to students of all ages from 5 to 64 years old, both online and in person, and I am constantly working on my research.
The goal of my lessons is to make learning fun.
The trumpet is an instrument that stands out if you make a mistake, but it feels great to play in a band or an orchestra!
I know that there are many people who cannot practice as much as they would like due to the influence of corona, but in my lessons, I aim to make learning fun by discussing with you how to organize your daily practice and what you are struggling with.
For beginners who can't read music at all, there will be a lecture on how to read music, play simple songs and warm up without reading music the score.
For advanced students who are struggling with their embouchure and musical expression, I would like to offer my own advice based on a method based on the idea of Arnold Jacobs' "Song & Wind".
For those who want to play high notes but have difficulty doing so, we will work on basic exercises and practice pieces while analyzing where your weaknesses are and what you need to practice.
If you find that your finger movements and tanking movements don't match up anymore and you end up messing up, I will teach you some exercises on finger movements and breath & tongue movements that are perfect for that.
Tutor profile
Born in Sapporo, Hokkaido. Started playing the trumpet in the school band with my older sister when I was in the third grade.
Graduated from Sapporo Otani University Junior College, Music Department and Major Course. After earning a music degree from the National Institute for Academic Degrees, I moved to Germany to study music education and instrumental music education at the Academy of Music in Wiesbaden. After that, I studied outreach activities and early instrumental music pedagogy at the graduate school of Karlsruhe University, while studying as an auditing student at the Department of Eurhythmics of the University of Music Mannheim for six months.
As an outreach activity in graduate school
Participated in Kindermusikfest, a program for children at the Baden-Baden Festspielhaus, as a trumpet instructor and performance coach.
I also participated in "Musik Mobil", a program to transport one class from a public school to cultural facilities (organ workshop, Festspielhaus Tokalion, Karlsruhe Opera Children's Program) free of charge. In the "Musik Mobil" program, I performed various musical recreational activities in the bus while working as a guide. In addition, I have been involved in educational activities such as introducing musical instruments at childcare facilities and elementary schools, as well as organizing concerts for children.
