Ninomiya Chihiro

“My name is Ninomiya Chihiro. I’m 27 years old. I teach and play the steelpan in Japan. I started playing the piano at the age of three. While studying percussion at university of music in Japan I was introduced to the steelpan. I am involved with the steelpan daily. Currently, I am teaching steelpan at  music shops, the Pan Village steelpan school and a large steelpan class.” -- Ninomiya Chihiro
