About Aleksei
I was born in Japan of Russian-Japanese musician parents, My father, Vladimir Takenouchi studied in Vienna under Emil Sauer, renowned student of Franz Liszt. From my early age, I was coached by Russian concert pianists and professors from Russia. At age 15, I went to Rome, Italy, to study with Professor Renzo Silvestri who was head of the Santa Cecilia and also with the famous pianist Carlo Zecchi. I am a graduate of Royal College of Music, London, De Paul University (M. Mus.) and Doctorate from Northwestern University (1987).
I am laureate of several international competitions including the Viardo Int'l Piano Competition. The competition was judged by international jury that included Dan Thai Son, winner of the Int'l Chopin Competition, Warsaw, Poland. I have given many concerts in USA and internationally. I teach all levels. I always try to develop the best potential in the student, be it for relaxation or competition.
Teaching from 1980, I have many prize winning students who have won recital opportunities at Carnegie Hall or have been accepted to Juilliard with full scholarship.I also teach and prepare students for either Royals testing or Certificate of Merit evaluations. I teach from absolute beginners to advanced, from 5 year olds to adults.
There are many things I enjoy about teaching music. Music is a way to better understand yourself. It is like a meditation in sound. We begin to pay more attention to our strengths, how we use our wrists, how power is generated, and to make beautiful color of the sound as we press the piano key. Even a 5 year old can do this. Often, they are underappreciated at that small age and usually, teachers just use a standard way of teaching. I disagree. Each person is different and in this world when we are all occupied with doing this and that, the piano teacher must take it into account and find ways to accelerate, to make faster the progress of the anyone studying piano.
Because of my approach, my students have been able to make fast progress and also win competitions, including performing at the Stern Auditorium of Carnegie Hall which holds 3,000 people.
My parents were musicians. My father was Professor Emeritus at Kunitachi Music College in Japan for 30 years and my mother was also a piano teacher. Both of them studied with Leo Sirota who was a very famous pianist and student of Busoni and my father also studied in Vienna in 1930s with Emil Sauer who was a disciple of Franz Liszt and has edited all his piano works.

Patience and understanding. A student is not always able to practice during the week, but by taking the piano lesson, s/he keeps that thread of music alive. The teacher's duty is to understand this and have patience, guiding the student to love music and not be frustrated.
I have worked with real beginners as well as very advanced to have become professional concert pianists.
I am performer. By understanding shortcuts to better results, I am able to help the student achieve better results, faster. Just search on youtube, videos of the teacher's performances or his students' performances. It will show a lot.
I like Olympic opening ceremonies as well as many of those events. But especially, the opening ceremonies. Why? It shows dedication and at that specific moment, there is no rivarly, no competition.

I believe that Mr. Aleksei Takenouchi is a great piano teacher. I had won many competition with him. I improved a lot and also, he is a very kind teacher.
I began taking lessons from Mr. Takenouchi about 2 years ago. I am a senior citizen who has always wanted to learn how to play the piano. After hearing a friend's two children play classical pieces beautifully, I asked who their instructor was, and I made contact with Mr. Takenouchi. Mr. Takenouchi has the ability to make his students feel comfortable and chooses music to fit the level of the student. He is consistent, reliable and always on schedule. During my lesson, the focus is entirely on me, without interruptions or distractions. I highly recommend this very talented and kind gentleman as a wonderful piano teacher.
My children (13 & 15) have been taking classes from Dr. Takenouchi for 9 years. He is an excellent teacher! He is suited for children of all ages and adults. He is patient and kind. My children enjoy learning from him very much. My oldest child is currently attending LACHSA in the classical piano department. You can check out my children's progress throughout the years, with Dr. Takenouchi, on YouTube channel katietang8. My family highly recommend him.
