In person lessons

Discover the beauty of traditional Japanese music through personalized, one-on-one Koto lessons with Takako. Each 60-minute session is tailored to your individual goals and experience level.

Lessons can be booked individually or by the term, aligned with the Queensland school calendar. In person lessons will be at Takako’s private studio in the western suburbs of Brisbane.

What You’ll Need:
All you need to get started are your Koto picks and your time. A starter kit of Koto picks is available for purchase from Takako.

As a student, you’ll also have the opportunity to perform as a member of the Queensland Koto Society (QKS) in their annual concert—a wonderful chance to share your progress and connect with the Queensland Koto community.

Online lessons

Takako offers online Koto lessons for students who are located away from the Brisbane region and already own their own Koto. Online lessons use the latest video link technology allowing Takako to watch and hear how the student is progressing, and for the student to see and hear Takako demonstrating playing techniques.

Once you make a booking, you will receive a login link along with detailed instructions for accessing your online lesson.
