I offer voice and piano lessons in Medina and Grafton, Ohio. I am a faculty member of Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C). I can help you for your college auditions, recording projects (social media, Spotify etc), performance engagements, solo competitions, community theatre shows, high school choir auditions, or just to have some fun in your life!


Currently, I am not accepting any beginning piano students. You might find a good piano teacher by contacting music teachers at schools near you. They usually keep a list of local piano teachers. Most schools have a list of faculty emails on their website. 


I start teaching voice lessons once the student is about 13 years old unless they are already performing a fair amount. I recommend piano lessons for little ones. Taking piano lessons will instill child a sense of pitch, teach them how to read music, and be beneficial no matter what musical instrument (including voice) they choose to learn later. 


Online Voice / piano lessons

I also offer voice and piano lessons, using Zoom, Skype or FaceTime. Now you can take my lessons from anywhere in the world with more day/time options!

You can take lessons with one focus (for example, voice lessons only or piano lessons only). Or you can create your own combo lessons from Piano, Voice, Songwriting, Music Theory, and Home Recording Arts. Piano/Voice combo is the most popular combo.

testimonials

“I would also like to thank my vocal coach, Miki Saito, for pushing me to not be comfortable, learn how to use my gift and challenge myself more.”

Riah B (Mariah Burge) in her interview with Shoutout Atlanta

“Miki is a phenomenal teacher! I have been studying voice with her for about a year and a half and in that time my voice and musicianship has completely transformed. She’s not only helped me develop my range and delivery, but my confidence as a performing/professional singer in Cleveland. I am so thankful to have found her, I wish you could hear a before and after! Her in-depth knowledge, passion for music and fun personality has made my vocal journey really, really enjoyable. I highly recommend her if you want to take your singing/playing to the next level.”

Ashley Gulla (active singer in northeast Ohio clubs and wineries)

“Miki is so talented and has been such a great influence on my daughter’s goal to sing and perform. She helps her select songs that are age appropriate and challenge her to grow her voice. Her range has improved since she started going to her lessons. Miki is always flexible with our schedule and willing to work with us when we need to make changes. I feel like Miki is as invested in my daughters success as we are.”

Kelly Cash

“I worked with Miki for two years and absolutely loved working with her! Not only did she help improve my voice tremendously but she helped improve my confidence. Miki is very easy and fun to work with and I always looked forward to my lessons with her. Miki worked with me on everything from pop to classical to musical theatre and was a great help with my college auditions!”

Mallorey Guillereault

“Working with Miki has been very monumental in my growth as a musician. Very encouraging and honest, she is always willing to help and coach her students to success. She is very fun and passionate about music. I highly recommend her as a teacher!”
