Hi there!  I was actually born in Tokyo and  moved to the United States when I was one years old. After graduating from the Eastman School of Music in New York, I returned  to Japan with my husband and we have been living here ever since.  When I'm not at school, I'm either playing with my cat, Mimi, watching movies or eating Japanese sweets!  I'm sure it's going to be a really wonderful year!

Khanh Nguyen ( Secondary)
Hello!  I lived in the United States  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!


Nicholas Jackson (Elementary)
Hi ! I'm really happy to be teaching 3rd grade this year. After graduating from Broad Run High School outside of Washington DC, I attended Shenandoah Conservatory in Winchester Virginia. When I'm not teaching or trying to learn Japanese, I enjoy taking walks outside and enjoying nature. It's going to be a really fun year!

Livio Fasullo (Elementary)
Hello Gunma-Kokusai Academy, my name is Mr. Fasullo and I am very excited to teach 4th, 5th, and 6th grade music! I grew up in Albany, New York, a small city in the United States that is near many mountains. When I`m not not teaching or playing the saxophone, I like to watch movies and spend time outside. I look forward to making lots of music this year!

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!
