Commitment…Focus…Consistency.
Ever since she was three years old Nana Miyoshi has lived life with one single goal: to become a concert pianist. Now, at age eighteen, it is a dream she is working every day to turn into a reality.
From the very beginning her commitment has been absolute. Playing and studying in her native Japan since the age of three, before applying to the Bradshaw & Buono International Piano Competition in 2019 and winning First Prize at age eleven, she has been a student of Steinway Artist Cosmo Buono since that time, and continues to hone her technique, while building the vast repertoire of piano literature which she knows she will need, in order to take her place on the world stage.
She listens and absorbs not just what she learns in her lessons, but also from the world around her. Everything she sees, every mile she travels, even what she eats is an experience helping her becoming a better musician.
She already knows that it can take many years to become an overnight success, and that in order to achieve her dreams she is going to have to be consistent. Daily practice at the piano; a vast historical knowledge of composers and their works; an understanding of their influences and motivations—all inform her studies on a constant basis, with the road to career success being traveled one experience and one note at a time.
We invite you to learn more as we share news about this extraordinary artist.
