Are you struggling with these issues?
I set up an official website and social media accounts, but I’m too busy to keep them updated. I wish someone could manage them for me…
I want to expand my concert opportunities, but I know I need to create a portfolio website and promotional materials soon. The problem is, I have no time and no IT knowledge…
I’m planning to organize a festival, masterclass, and competition, but I don’t have enough time! It would be great if someone could handle my social media and advertising…
I have to create seminar materials, but I don’t know how to edit sheet music on a computer or use certain applications…
I need to send out business emails, but I wish someone could do it for me…
I have many students and am busy with my own performances, so I can't set fixed lesson days. I adjust the schedule based on students' requests each time, but it's like solving a puzzle—so difficult! I wish someone could do it for me.
I can help you solve these problems!

Brochure
I have created a study guide for applicants of the entrance examination of the Organ and Harpsichord Department at the University of Music Lugano | Conservatorio della svizzera italiana in Switzerland.
eBook-style Portfolio
By using an eBook format instead of a standard PDF resume, you can present information in a more visually engaging and memorable way. With embedded performance videos, sheet music, and interactive design, it leaves a strong impression on organizers.
Music Video Editing (YouTube)
I edit performance videos and add sheet music overlays for better viewer experience. You can check my editing skills on my YouTube channel below.

About me
Chikako Nishikawa
Organist, Cembalist.
My own Website as Organist and Cembalist.
As a professional classical musician myself, I can offer services as an online assistant manager specializing in musicians.
Many musicians struggle with administrative tasks and IT, often prioritizing practice over paperwork.
Leveraging my experience as an online assistant manager for my former teacher, I started my own freelance service to support busy musicians who are not comfortable with IT by utilizing my office management and technical knowledge.
During my break from musical activities, I obtained Japan’s national qualification as a Junior System Administrator and gained work experience in market research companies and IT firms in Japan, and hold IBM’s Explore Emerging Tech certification. Alongside these, I have also developed knowledge in AI technologies, allowing me to better integrate digital tools into my work. In addition to my career as a professional classical musician, I also make use of my multilingual skills, developed through years of living in Europe, to provide comprehensive support for solo classical musicians to operate smoothly online.
With my extensive experience in website creation, brochure design, video editing, and digital marketing, I will help bring your music to the world. My expertise in classical music allows me to highlight the best aspects of your artistry and support effective promotion.
Understanding the desire of musicians to focus on their performances, I take care of complex administrative tasks, allowing you to dedicate more time to your music.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require further information!
