Miyuki was born in Japan and came to the UK in 1997 as an exchange student, spending a year at grammar school in Kent, where she met piano teacher, Dr Michael Schreider, and decided to take up the piano for her profession (although her first plan on coming to the UK was to become a ballet-costume designer). After studying at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, where she graduated in 2003 with a BMus first for performance, she pursued further studies at the Royal College of Music and was awarded the Postgraduate Diploma in Performance in summer 2007 and Master of Music Degree in Advanced Performance in 2008. She has also gained many awards and been a prize-winner in international piano competitions. Miyuki gives recitals frequently in Wales, England and Japan.
