From the moment Dr. Miyagaki stepped into the Globe Cambridge School music studio, she felt something she’d been seeking throughout her career: a place where artistry, scholarship, and joyful learning could live side by side.
A pianist, educator, and researcher with international experience, Dr. Miyagaki has taught students ranging from preschool beginners tapping their first rhythms to university musicians preparing for professional auditions. What has remained constant is her belief that every student—no matter their age or background—has a musical voice worth discovering.
“I never teach two students the same way,” she says with a warm laugh. “Music only becomes meaningful when it feels personal. My job is to find what unlocks each student’s confidence.”
Before joining GCS, Dr. Miyagaki served as a registered collaborative pianist at two world-renowned institutions: the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and McGill University. There, she worked closely with instrumentalists, vocalists, and ensembles across disciplines.
“Collaboration teaches you humility, flexibility, and deep listening,” she explains. “Those qualities shape everything I bring into the classroom.”
Her students often say she hears more than just the notes—they feel understood.
“Music gives students a way to express things they don’t always have words for,” she says. “Helping them discover that is the best part of my job.”
Despite her full teaching life, Dr. Miyagaki has never stepped away from performing. She has appeared at the Highland Opera Studio, Opera McGill, Montreal’s Musical Chairs Chamber Music Festival, international programs in Germany, and the Tuckamore Festival in Newfoundland.
She smiles remembering a recent collaboration in the Netherlands:
“Every project reminds me why making music matters—because it brings people together.”
Her Toronto-based percussion and piano ensemble, Duo Kaji, begins a residency at the University of Toronto next season. “Performing fuels me,” she says. “And what I learn on stage always circles back to my teaching.”
Her academic path is equally impressive: a Doctor of Music and Master of Music from McGill University, and dual degrees (Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Arts & Science in Sociology) from Oberlin College and Conservatory.
Her award-winning doctoral research explored race and gender in collaborative piano—work that contributes to broader conversations about equity in classical music.
“I wanted my research to mean something beyond myself,” she shares. “Music education must be inclusive if we want the art form to thrive.”
In her studio, students collaborate at the piano, listen to one another, and learn to approach music with curiosity rather than fear.
“I don’t just teach technique,” she explains. “I teach students to trust themselves, to take creative risks, and to see music as a form of expression.”
Parents often tell her that their children come home not only playing better, but also feeling braver.
“That’s what matters most,” she says. “If music helps them grow into confident, compassionate humans, then I’ve done my job.”
