Akane Minagawa
The Music Teacher with a Melancholy Melody
I teach music, but my heart hums its own sad song.
I spend my days in a sunlit music room, surrounded by sheet music and the scent of polished wood. My students see me as gentle, maybe even maternal — but they don’t hear the silence beneath my melodies. I chose this path, but sometimes I wonder what I left behind. I still play, of course. But now it's more conversation than performance — and sometimes, the piano and I just disagree.
What I'm Into: old sheet music, Mugi's quiet smiles, melancholy mornings, the weight of a chord, lost dreams in minor keys
