At the moment, Schumann, Haydn and Beethoven
Musical idol:
My present and past teachers, Clive Greensmith (cellist of the Tokyo String Quartet) and Norman Fischer.
How much do you practice per day?
I try to practice at least an hour or more by myself. As a quartet we practice for 4-5 hours a day 6 days a week.
Any advice for young musicians?
Stick with it! Everyone has ups and downs when they are more or less inspired to play but it's important to make practicing part of your daily routine.
Do you get nervous before a concert?
Sometimes. It depends on how much I have been performing. I usually feel very comfortable playing in a quartet because I love performing with others. I do get much more nervous playing by myself or if I haven't performed for a long time.
