Hiromi Uehara



Hiromi Uehara has become one of my favorite musicians in the Japanese main stream. Her playing style as well as her obvious passion for playing are true inspirations. i saw an interview on television with her childhood piano teacher, whom uses verbal imagery and color definition in her teachings to help her students identify with and express the emotion within a given piece of music. i've heard a rumour that because of this training in childhood Hiromi Uehara has developed a sort of synaesthesic sense, seeing colors as she plays.
