Fauré: Jardin de Dolly, Dolly Suite, Op.56 No. 3 (double recording)  フォーレ 組曲ドリー ドリーの庭（二重録音）

Thank you for listening.

----------------------------

I'm Japanese living in Tokyo.
I've been playing piano for overr 40 years, and electric piano for more than 30.
You'll find more details below.

----------------------------

pulchra - from the first Kanji "美" of my name.
flow - the left radical of the second Kanji "江" of my name.
p f - short for pianoforte.

----------------------------

I subscribed to NextPro because it offers unlimited uploads.
- I practice classical pieces that I want to perform, and upload recordings with fewer mistakes.  
- I record adlib/improvisations whenever I feel like playing simply moving my hands.  

----------------------------

I started with a toy piano.  
More than 40 years ago, my grandfather gave me a mahogany Kawai upright piano.
I studied piano with Ms. Kazuko Makishima from the age of 5 to 17.  She was an elderly woman in my neighbourhood who wore colorful clothes and loved the Electone as well as the piano.  
In high school, I played electric bass in a rock band with friends in a club.  (I haven't played bass since then, though.)

I entered university (not a music school or major) and joined a piano club called Piano-no-kai.  The members, friends enjoyed playing the piano and explored  classical pieces, popular, jazz, and more - each in their own way.  


After graduation, I bought my first electric piano to play at night after work.  (My mahogany Kawai piano was sold.)
I've replaced electric pianos due to broken parts.  
My current one is the third one.  I've been playing it for over ten years with a repair.


I began learning jazz because I wanted to know music theory. (I didn't - and still don't -  play jazz well.)  
First, I learned with Mr. Shu Sugawara, who works as a writer and a translator. 
Later, I learned with Ms. Miki Hayasaka at the Kawai music school in Omotesando.  I learned theory and co-created a little music piece.
I also joined a small free jazz band, where one of my colleagues from work was playing.  

After that, again I returned to classical piano, studying with Ms. Yukiko Asami at the music school.  
She taught me how to play with more fluency and elegance, and with greater attention to detail than I had learned before.

After that, I studied a little harmony and counterpoint on my own.

- others -

I enjoy watching anime and movies with my husband.

I often use my hands, body - sensing, adjusting, etc.


I'm Japanese, born and living in Tokyo.

Note: I'm not an native English speaker, so fluent or casual conversational English can be difficult for me to follow.  When you kindly send a message, I appreciate language similar to what you'd find in a newspaper or textbook.
尚、日本語はくだけた表現でも何でも大丈夫です。
