Hello everyone, my name is Yukiko Fuku (福 由樹子).
Based in Sapporo, Hokkaido, I am currently working professionally as a pianist and arranger.
With more than 15 years of experience in the field of music performance and arrangement, I have been offering lessons to people of all genres and levels at simultaneously.
I hope that I can help you get closer to your musical goals in a practical way!
I am also open to anyone, whether you are a hobbyist or want to get into the world of professional music.
As for piano lessons, I am currently teaching mostly pop and jazz music, but since I graduated from a classical music college, I can also teach classical piano.
I also offer lessons in composition, arrangement, music theory, and solfege. All instruments are welcome, so please feel free to contact me.
<Profile>
I started playing the piano at a young age at the Yamaha Music School.
I entered the Art and Music Course at Hokkaido University of Education. While studying piano, voice, composition, etc., I started playing in a band. I currently perform in a wide range of musical genres, including sessions, recordings, and support in various forms in Hokkaido and the Kanto region.
I studied keyboard and composition under musician Toshiyuki Mori for two years.
I am also actively involved in commercial music, music production and arrangement for artists, sound production, as well as my own solo, and trio “Bill Rings” with violin and double bass. In March 2019, I released my first solo album “Piano Works”.
My motto is “to create and perform good music that transcends different musical genres”.
I am also a lecturer at Sapporo Broadcasting System Music & Dance College.
