The pianist, composer, bass player and author, Chie Ishii, was born in Tokyo, Japan. At the age of 4, she started playing the piano. She had her first public concert when she was 6 years old. At the age of 12, she fell in love with the music of Frederic Chopin. At the same time, she was fascinated by rock music and played keyboard in many different rock bands in Japan.<\/p>

Chie Ishii left Japan when she was 19. She lived in the United States from 1983 till 1989 and studied music - piano performance at Berklee College of Music in Boston, in Brevard Music School in North Carolina and at College of the Ozarks in Arkansas. In these years she also learned the alto saxophone and the electric bass guitar. She won first prizes in different piano competitions in US and finished her music diploma with honour.<\/p>

Besides her profession as a concert pianist, a studio musician and a church organist, she was also the director of the YAMAHA music school in Fort Smith, Arkansas. In 1990 she worked at the Oxford University in England, and since 1991 she lives in Berlin, Germany.<\/p>

In 1997 she was the first audio-DVD recording artist in Europe. This Recording, CD \"Berlin Affair\" was introduced at the international consumer electronic show in Berlin. So far she has released 4 solo albums with the works of Chopin and of her own and one album with the compositions of Heinz Erhardt.<\/p>

In 2003 she formed her own rock \u2018n\u2019 roll band \"Breathless\", in which she plays the bass guitar and which she manages.<\/p>

She is also a piano teacher and an author of music books. In 2006 her piano method \"Piano Basics\" (Basisbuch Klavier) was published, which is for all ages from 4 with or without prior knowledge. In 2007 three further books, \"20 Small Concert Pieces\", \"I\u2019ll Think about You\"- 5 romantic compositions of Chie Ishii and a keyboard method \"Let\u2019s Get on to the Keys\" (An die Tasten) were published. In 2009 three further books, \"Christmas on Earth\" \u2013 Piano and Keyboard Arrangements of popular Christmas carols, \"Heinz Erhardt mal klassisch\" and a song book of a rock band from Berlin called \"MIA\" were published.<\/p>

Chie Ishii\u2018s current repertoire includes besides the famous works of romanticism especially those of Frederic Chopin, numerous original composition of her own, with which she expresses her extraordinary emotions.<\/p>

Since 2008 her repertoire includes also the piano works of the German humorist Heinz Erhardt, which were unpublished and unknown until then.\n\nChie Ishii possesses the hand written music of these pieces. In 2009 she was the only authorized person who was allowed to present these compositions in public for the first time in celebration of Heinz Erhardt\u2019s 100th birthday.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
