My passion for songwriting and my ability to connect with others through music is what makes my experience unique. You don't need any musical talent or vocal ability to work with me. Of course, if you do have those skills, it's definitely a plus! But my focus is on creating music that is authentic and vulnerable regardless of your musical background.
Whether you come to me with a blank canvas or with ideas already in mind for what you want to write, I am always excited to embark on the songwriting journey with you. Together, we can create something truly special.
So if you're looking to dive into the world of songwriting, don't hesitate to reach out. Let's write the next hit song together!
【Among healing nature, inside Japanese-style traditional buildings, enjoy performances with Japanese traditional drums】
Marumori-machi in Miyagi Prefecture is a "town of water and greenery" surrounded by rich forested mountains and mountain streams. The Sairi-Yashiki Warehouse is the former estate of the wealthy merchant Saito family, which continued for seven generations starting in 1780. The estate was donated along with all its collections to the town of Marumori, which opened the Sairi-Yashiki Warehouse Compound to the public as the "Sairi Historical Estate."
This activity is a special experience, unique even in Japan, where you can see a live performance by members of local professional taiko drumming group "Tabidaiko" in this valuable historical place, resonating with the Japanese style buildings and atmosphere.
In addition, you can experience "Taiko Mindfulness" using Japanese taiko drums. In this section, you can release your daily stress and stray thoughts and meditate.
This is a choice of activities that you can customize according to your tastes:
From Emily in Paris until Jazz concert near Eiffel Tower or tasting a fancy pastry and crepes.
This interesting is for people who want to do something different from classic tours.

Are you curious about exploring local folk music and instruments all around the world? Then this workshop is for you! A local folk musician will introduce you to the kokle, a traditional Latvian string instrument. Latvians have a saying that the kokle is given to us by God, but the bagpipes - by the Devil. It will take only a few seconds to understand why we say that. We can assure you that the kokle has one of the purest, most magical, and calming sounds among all the instruments you have ever heard.

'To heal' is to 'make sound'. Every molecule in our body vibrates and sometimes we simply need a tune up. Whether we are tired, jet lagged, have a stiff back, oftentimes we are not running on all cylinders. Meditation gongs offer the fastest and most powerful way to regain balance and harmony of body, mind and spirit.
Red Doors is an intimate bespoke studio housing the largest meditation gong collection in Asia, is a centre of excellence for pre-eminent gong manufacturers and time spent within our doors will leave you feeling rejuvenated, refreshed and alive.
I am a Fado lover who has lived all my life in beautiful Lisboa. I have been to lots of Fado venues over the years, meeting many incredible singers & musicians.
I am passionate about my city and its Fado. I have created this experience to share my knowledge of traditional Portuguese music and give my guests a truly authentic evening you will never forget.
In April 2018 I created the #1 rated walk in Lisboa (on another platform) and since then have met many guests from around the world. The most common thing I'm asked is where guests can see traditional Fado, and this has been my inspiration to create this project.
Your first experience with the koto is a rare opportunity to experience the magic of music and traditional Japanese culture. You can learn how to play koto with a professional licensed instructor who is licensed as an Ikuta-ryu teacher. This is a small group lesson with a capacity of 2 people for one lesson. After a brief introduction about the koto, you will get sheet music of anime songs or hit tunes, and play your own favorite songs. The sound of the koto will give a new charm to your performance, and it will be very moving. We will deliver valuable time that can only be experienced in Japan to tourists visiting Japan.
