About the Instructor (Chiaki Endo)　Please call me "Endo-sensei" 😊

Hello! My name is Chiaki Endo.

I'm a pianist, vocalist,

a Japanese music teacher,

and bilingual educator in Japan.

With years of experience in

performance and teaching,

I create engaging lessons that connect students with Japanese culture through music.

This is an original graduation song I created

for the students I taught

in a Japanese elementary school.

It celebrates their final moments together

before moving on to a new chapter.

The title is "Deaete Yokatta"

("I'm so glad I met you").

Musical Background

I have worked as both a pianist and a vocal performer,

gaining a broad foundation in musical expression.

Teaching Experience

I have taught music to children in multilingual

and multicultural environments,

both in Japan and internationally.

What I Bring to This Program

1 Bilingual Communication—Smooth English/Japanese explanation during lessons

2 Cultural Interpretation—bridging cultural perspectives through music

3 Flexible teaching style—based on each student's needs and personality

4 deep understanding of Japanese school culture and children's learning patterns

My Passion

I am passionate about opening children's hearts to the beauty of Japanese children's songs.

My hope is that every student feels curiosity, wonder, and joy through this program.
