Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Sakurako Kanemitsu has been teaching privately and in academic settings for over a decade. With degrees in piano performance in both bachelor's and master's, she has a wide range of experience of teaching students as young as 5 years old, well into adulthood with skill level from absolute beginner to students wanting to pursue music professionally. Her students regularly participate in local music competitions and festivals, as well as the MTAC Certificate of Merit every year. Ms. Sakurako is passionate about passing down to future generations the beauty and the high-level of art making that is piano playing. With many students engrossed in virtual reality and participating in large amounts of "screen time" it is important for students to also be grounded in the "here-and-now" through learning and playing music. Playing an instrument has been scientifically proven to be the only activity that can light up all areas of the brain at the same time, making it one of the most demanding and difficult thing a person can do. But with that, great benefits can be reaped! Taking part in regular lessons and practicing sessions has been proven to enhance anyone's concentration, problem-solving, and flexibility in other areas of study--not just in music. Ms. Sakurako also enjoys guiding seasoned players to expand their sound into even more sensitive and colorful sphere as well as ways to express emotions through the piano. Ms. Sakurako has recently moved to the Somerville area to pursue a post master's diploma in piano at Longy School of Music at Bard College. She looks forward to expanding her private studio here and guiding more students.

Sakurako is exactly the kind of teacher I was looking for. She is a performing and teaching professional who takes care that all facets of music are covered in her teaching. She has high standards yet is very encouraging to the student. I could not have found a better teacher!
