I am a conservatory trained voice & piano teacher. I studied at Showa Music School of the Performing Arts in Japan. I am accomplished in the performance of sonatas by Beethoven, Etudes by Chopin, and works by Rachmaninoff, as well as other classical composers, and opera, oratorio works as well. I am a professional accompanist and have been rehearsal accompanist for the Palm Beach Opera and Masterworks Chorus.
I enjoy teaching students who have a strong desire to become proficient in piano performance, and singing performance as well. I have successfully prepared students for auditions to such prestigious schools as BAK Middle School and Dreyfoos School for the Performing Arts, Palm Beach Atlantic University, Florida Atlantic University, University of South Carolina School of Music. I am happy to travel to your home to give lessons. My studio includes students from West Palm Beach to Palm Beach Gardens. I look forward to building musical relationships with my students.
I enjoy making music of all kinds. I am an opera singer and have performed with the Palm Beach Opera. In addition to giving piano lessons, I am also available for voice lessons. It is recommended that students who are considering a performing arts school should include both voice and piano.

Nana is an amazing voice and piano instructor. I could have not asked for a better instructor. My daughter loves her and she looks forward for her next singing lesson. She is so patient.

My daughter attend Nana's Voice & Piano Studio. Each practice is so good. Nana take time to make sure the pronunciation is correct and perfects each song. The same with the piano. Each lesson is like a performance.

I began working with Nana approximately 3 years ago as an
adult 1) intermediate level piano student restarting after a 30 year hiatus and 2) vocal student with no former solo vocal instruction but great interest in assessing my own vocal skills. I am pleased to share that my experience with Nana as a piano and vocal instructor has been extremely beneficial and rewarding. I feel very fortunate to have located such a fine teacher and coach.
Nana’s musicianship, teaching experience and professionalism is outstanding.
PIANO: At the start, Nana observed and assessed my piano performance level and discussed my personal goal to continue studying classical piano. We set preliminary goals and began my preference for weekly sessions which I felt would help keep me on track. We continue to work on the development of technical skills and musical aspects with levels of music that are interesting and challenging and continue to build my classical repertoire.
VOCAL: As a novice vocal student we started from the beginning. Nana has taught me the basics of breathing, breath control, musical accuracy (also for piano) and articulation. She uses the Bel canto method and with scale training, warmups and vocal selections I have been able to develop and expand my soprano range. She has made very appropriate short solo selections which are always challenging and enjoyable to learn.
As a performance artist herself, Nana is knowledgeable, experienced, and patient. She is able to demonstrate and/or explain new techniques and concepts. I have observed her at recitals with children, teens and young adults at various levels of musical competency and she always is able to bring out the very best in each student.
It is clear that Nana’s training with well known, celebrated musicians/teachers and her own professional career in piano performance and opera have been beneficial and of great value to me. I have also observed how she works with and successfully prepares students for auditions to BAK and Dreyfoos School's of The Arts.
Although I have a long way to go to in my musical journey Nana is best coach and guide for me. I highly recommend Nana Morimoto for piano and vocal instruction for interested students of all ages.

Ms. Morimoto brings to her pedagogy and music a true joy and increidible wisdom rare in a teacher. She is strict and gentle in her approach, and if you work hard and do what she instructs, you will certainly succeed. She has many methods and techniques to iron out problems a student is facing. She makes playing music fun and enjoyable a great beginning teacher or technician of students at all levels, young and old, in both vocal and piano. A master of her craft

I am a mezzo-soprano and have been introduced to Nana by Mrs. Virginia Zeani. I have been taking voice lessons with Nana for more than a year and was able to benefit from her very solid vocal technique teaching method. Nana is a great pianist and a wonderful voice teacher. As a teacher, Nana is dedicated, patient, and meticulous. She helped me overcome many difficulties and achieve progress in each one of my voice lessons. I owe a lot of my success at my recent Carnegie Hall debut to her help and efforts. Since I live in NYC, my lessons with Nana are conducted on Skype when in-person coaching is impossible. Nana is also a great mentor and is always ready to advise and help her students whenever and however she can. On a personal level, she is kind, generous and honest. I would strongly recommend Nana with great enthusiasm!
