Chandra Lowery (Elementary)

Hello everyone! I'm the music teacher for 1st and 2nd grade. I was born in Japan and then I moved to Maryland in the United States and grew up there. After college I came back to Japan and I've been here ever since. My main instrument is piano. When I'm not teaching, I like to play with my cat, watch movies and bake cakes! I'm looking forward to having a fun year together!

Khanh Nguyen (Elementary, Secondary)
Hello! I will be teaching 3rd, 4th, and 6th grade. I lived in the United States for all my life until coming to GKA to teach. Even though my primary instrument is the saxophone, I also like playing flute and clarinet. When I'm not teaching, I like to play in the mountains! I hope we have a fun year making music together!

Dylan Lowery (Elementary)
Hi ! I'm really happy to be teaching 6th grade instrumental music this year. I was a student at GKA Elementary School many years ago. After graduating from GKA Senior High School, I attended Ueno Gakuen University. When I'm not teaching or playing the trumpet, I enjoy watching movies and driving. It's going to be a really fun year!

Samuel Hill (Secondary)

Hey! I'm very excited to be teaching Junior High music at GKA! I was born in South Carolina (United States) and lived there until moving to Rochester, New York to attend the Eastman School of Music. I mostly play the trumpet (pictured left) but I enjoy teaching all instruments. When not playing trumpet or teaching, I enjoy cooking food, eating food, and watching movies while I eat that food. I'm looking forward to making music with everyone this year!
