We've been very lucky to work with many kids around the world and somehow music is really the best medicine.

We've been very lucky to work with many kids around the world who's having some sort of problems.

And somehow music is really the best medicine in a way.

especially for kids who's having autism.

For example, I had many students, six or seven students.

They weren't talking to anybody.

They were just locking themselves into some place.

And then when they start playing piano, everything changes.

And now I have one of my students who's completely beautiful.

I mean, and he's like talking to everyone.

He's now teaching piano.

What do you think makes a good piano teacher?

A good piano teacher has to really listen to what the students need and to really open their heart and try to inspire them to play with the genuine heart and also to play with joy.

And very often you practice so much, then you become a machine.

And then we always need to put the human side first.

Absolutely.

When I travel particularly, I get sometimes real problems.

I don't have a patient.

I get really angry.

But then when I start playing some beautiful music by Bach or Chopin, I just come back to a wonderful mood.
