Yayoi has performed in western Europe, metropolitan Tokyo area in Asia and greater metropolitan NYC area in North America, which includes notable venues such as Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. Yayoi has also been actively performing as a vocal accompanist, works often with critically acclaimed soprano, Valerie Girard (Soprano).
As a teacher, Yayoi Sakaki has served as a faculty member at the Music School of Westchester in suburb of New York City over a decade and she also has her piano teaching studio, which has been her "lab" to test her method. Yayoi has been receiving rave reviews for her innovative piano method which maintains the benefit of traditional piano study while enabling the great extent of individualization for optimizing the learning experiences. Based on this, Yayoi has created the cognitive profiling method as well as digital sensory stimulation therapy using the same device system. This is how Project Ipsilon was born.
Yayoi strives for cognitive wellness one musical note at a time.
