“The thing I appreciate most about Ms. Morimoto’s teaching is her kindness and genuine concern for the student’s progress. She does not let the slightest detail in technique go unnoticed, yet her approach to correcting and solving technical challenges is always calm and patient.

Ms. Morimoto truly wants her students to succeed, and when her instruction is followed diligently, success is inevitable. She is a wonderful teacher for all levels—from beginners to advanced students—as well as for coaching. A true treasure of a teacher.”

“My son has taken voice, piano, and music theory lessons from Ms. Morimoto for a year and a half—two hours per week. I can confidently say she is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of music. She successfully prepared him for a high school vocal audition (he was accepted), multiple jury selections, and both spring and fall recitals. Ms. Morimoto is professional, patient, thorough, structured in her lesson plans, and very talented. I would highly recommend her for any music lessons.”

“My son began taking lessons with Ms. Morimoto nine months before his audition for Bak Middle School of the Arts. Not only was he accepted, but he learned so much during that time. If you are considering lessons, I highly recommend her. She is an exceptional instructor who brings out the best in students of all ages.”

“I have been studying with Ms. Morimoto for two years, and she has completely transformed my voice. Before taking lessons, I had no projection or volume. Through her consistent emphasis on tone quality, technique, diction, breath support, phrasing, and musical interpretation—including in foreign languages—I’ve become a far more confident and capable vocalist.

As an 11th-grade vocal major at Dreyfoos School of the Arts, my school instructors have commented on the excellent progress I’ve made thanks to Ms. Morimoto’s teaching. She helped me master a wide range of repertoire, achieve high jury scores, and most recently, gain acceptance into the Palm Beach Opera Studio—a competitive seven-month training program for aspiring young singers.

Ms. Morimoto is not only a gifted teacher, but also an outstanding pianist, which makes her voice lessons exceptionally complete. She encourages performance, competition, and long-term growth in each student. Her attention to detail and sincere dedication make her a rare and valuable teacher. She has truly impacted my life.”

“As a performance artist herself, Ms. Morimoto is knowledgeable, experienced, and patient. She is able to clearly demonstrate and explain new techniques and concepts. She is highly dedicated to serious music students and works diligently to prepare them for auditions to BAK and Dreyfoos Schools of the Arts. She also coaches students remotely in New York City and Japan, providing audition preparation and lessons via Skype.

Ms. Morimoto’s training with renowned teachers and her professional background in piano performance and opera are of exceptional value to serious, committed piano and vocal students.”

“I am a mezzo-soprano and was introduced to Ms. Morimoto by the legendary soprano Virginia Zeani. I have been studying voice with her for over a year and have greatly benefited from her solid and precise vocal technique instruction.

Ms. Morimoto is a superb pianist and an outstanding voice teacher. She is dedicated, patient, and meticulous—always helping me overcome technical challenges and guiding me to steady progress in every lesson. I owe much of my success in my recent Carnegie Hall debut to her expert coaching and support.

As I am based in New York City, we work via Skype when in-person coaching is not possible. Ms. Morimoto is also a trusted mentor who always provides thoughtful guidance and support. Personally, she is kind, generous, and sincere. I recommend her without reservation.”
