Kaius requested Entrance to Infinity Castle as his next piano piece, hoping to challenge himself with music he genuinely enjoys. To encourage his enthusiasm and keep him motivated to practice, I created a simplified arrangement that captures the essence of the original while making it more accessible for his current playing level.

From Solo to Duet: Turning “One Summer's Day” into a Shared Musical Moment
This piece came to life because of a student’s simple request.
After she had fully mastered Golden, she asked what she could play next. Around the same time, both she and her sister were constantly humming the tune whenever they came to lessons. It was clear that this music had already become part of their everyday lives, not just something on the page.
I already had the score for the piano solo, but then another thought crossed my mind. Since both sisters play the piano, why not turn this piece into a piano duet? Instead of one person playing while the other listens, they could sit side by side, sharing the melody, the rhythm, and the joy of making music together.
So I decided to convert the solo into a duet arrangement. The goal was simple: to make the piece fun, collaborative, and musically meaningful for them. At the same time, it allowed me to add a new arrangement to my library—one that carries a personal story behind it.
What started as a student’s question became a small creative project, and more importantly, an opportunity for two siblings to connect through music. Moments like these are a reminder of why teaching and arranging music can be so rewarding: every piece can grow, change, and create new memories.
Here they are.
One Summer's Day Piano Duet, music by Joe Hisaishi.
This piece has an interesting journey behind it.
It was originally chosen by the student’s previous teacher, and when the student brought it to me, she mentioned that it was meant to be a duet. However, after taking a closer look at the photocopied score, I realized something wasn’t quite right. The so-called “second part” wasn’t actually a duet part at all—it lacked the structure and musical independence a true duet requires.
Rather than abandoning the idea, I decided to rework it properly. I began by searching for the underlying chord progression and then wrote a genuine second part that would complement the original melody and create a balanced musical conversation between the two players.
With the new duet part in place, the piece finally became what it was meant to be. After rehearsing and refining it together, we were able to perform it successfully at SOTA Concert Hall for "Summer Recital" hosted by Melodious Piano Studio in early November.
Seeing the piece come together on stage was incredibly rewarding. What started as an incomplete score turned into a fully realized duet—and a meaningful performance moment for the student.

I came back from the UK in August and soon after started working in Singapore as a full-time piano teacher at Melodious Piano Studio. Today marks my third month of teaching here, and the experience has been wonderful so far. I really love the reward system, and I appreciate how the studio takes good care of its teachers—the support and benefits make a big difference. Feeling grateful and excited to keep growing with Melodious Piano Studio!

That's a violin piece my first UK violin student asking for.
Original key is Eb major, which of course is impossible for a violin beginner to play this key, hence I modulated to D major, and written in two different octave, allowing others to have a choice of playing in D string or A string.
Since this piece of music is quite monotonous in nature, best is to play duet with your violin teacher, provide a Only Time violin duet music sheet in D major.
