Mayo Shimonishi(Japan)
Mayo Shimonishi was born in Hiroshima, Japan in the summer of 1981.
After being pushed by her mom to try the piano at the age of 4, her focus has been on music ever since.
From winning talent competitions from the age of 10 and throughout her music education, culminating in her university degree at Kunitachi College of Music, she has been using her extraordinary talents on performing and teaching classical music.
Mayo has performed with many student and professional orchestras in Japan. she is an specialist in Eurythmics and will bring this art of teaching to the KJC students. It is also not to her disadvantage that before she came to Nepal took a course in piano tuning. Which is no coincidence since she was in Nepal in october 2008 and saw the need for more tuners. In fact, she says it herself, the last visit to Nepal made her realize how important music education is, and how much she looks forward to contribute in increasing the level of education by joining our school. Miss Shimonishi is the key person in the piano department at KJC.
