Chika Yoshioka

Dominik Kisiel

Hello my name is Chika, I know… a rather unique name right? My musical journey began at the tender age of 3 when I first laid my fingers on the piano keys. Classical music has been my faithful companion throughout most of my life, but in 2023 I tried to broaden my horizon with Jazz and Pop. The later one has a weird rhythm let me tell you that.

My musical education began with a Bachelor of Music degree at the Toho School of Music in Tokyo, Japan, under the guidance of Professor Yasushi Hirose.

Following this, I participated in a masterclass in Austria led by Professor Roland Batik, which inspired me to pursue further studies under his tutelage at Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna.

Currently, I am honing my skills at the prestigious University Mozarteum Salzburg with Professor Ya-fei Chuang. Beyond studies, I actively collaborate with other musicians through accompaniment, orchestral performance, give small piano lessons or play for my cat.
