Shigemi Minetaka

Hello.  I am Shigemi, a pianist, flautist, music instructor, composer, arranger in Chico, Northern California, USA. 

I was classically trained at young age, and my recent areas of focus is jazz, salsa and Cuban music.  But I enjoy other styles of music too.

Music has been a great way for me to express myself and connect with people.  

Other than that, I like a relaxing-life style, reading, having a good cup of tea, making goofy jokes at times and traveling.
