10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

Great achievements are not made by a momentary impulse, but are accomplished through the accumulation of small things.Vincent van Gogh

If you feel you tend to heat up quickly and cool off just as fast, why not keep this quote in mind? These are words left by Van Gogh, reminding us that to achieve great things, what matters is not fleeting emotions or actions, but how we sustain and build upon our passion and conviction.

Van Gogh kept painting throughout his life, believing in himself even without anyone’s recognition.

I always do what I can’t do yet, in order to learn how to do it.Vincent van Gogh

Here’s a great quote for anyone who wants to take on a challenge but feels unsure if they can do it.

Van Gogh’s works changed in style over the years, and as this quote suggests, he experimented and tried many different things.

Rather than feeling ashamed of what you can’t do, people who keep taking on new challenges broaden their perspective and tend to grow faster.

Along the way, you may discover something only you can do.

When you want to try but can’t quite take the first step, hold this quote close and take the plunge.
