On episode 54 of Small Business Japan, I talk with pianist and entrepreneur Makiko Hirata about monetizing the arts, what it means to be a Japanese female pianist, and how a sustainable business requires passion.
"An international concert pianist and recording artist, Makiko Hirata, calls herself “Dr. Pianist” for two reasons. She has a Doctor of Musical Arts degree. And she is on a mission to promote music as a healing agent. She works with neuroscientists to quantify the benefit of music, and gives lectures and facilitate workshops globally on the subject."
