Warmth Through Sound － Chiaki Endo

Pianist / Music educator / Expressive Arts Educator

No one is left behind.

Everyone is seen, heard, and held with kindness.

That's who I am - a gentle, slightly whimsical teacher who stays close to your heart❤️‍🩹

I was born and raised in Kiryu, Gunma Prefecture.

Surrounded by Mount Akagi and the Watarase River, I feel safe and at peace here.

I live a quiet, peaceful life as a Reiwa-era wandering poet of sound.

A person who touches the soul through sound.

Profile

I graduated from the Faculty of Education (Music)

at Niigata University and completed graduate studies at the same university.

Before becoming fully independent, I worked as a pianist, performed with orchestras, solo concerts and various stage productions.

As a public elementary school music teacher, I created original graduation songs every year for my lovely children.

I enjoyed teaching them very much because I was able to connect with all of the children at school from the bottom of my heart.

Since I was a university student, I have taught over 2,000 students throughout my 30+ year career.

After many experiences, my work has expanded far beyond the classroom. I have dedicated my life to supporting people through the power of sound and expression　－children, teachers, communities, and anyone seeking to reconnect with their true nature.

Rather than focusing on technical achievement, I value the moments when a person's essence returns, when their inner voice begins to shine again through music.

My mission is simple: to create spaces where people feel seen, safe, and free to express who they truly are.

Through sound are gentle guidance, I continue to accompany others on their journey back to themselves.
