Yuko Yamamura is a Jazz and Classical French hornist, composer, and arranger. She was born in Kobe, Japan, and started her musical studies as a singer at the age of seven. She graduated from the Osaka College of Music in 1995, where she studied Classical music with Hiroko Fushimi and Shigekazu Ikeda, and wind ensemble arranging with Toru Takahashi. She also studied Jazz - particularly improvisation with Hiroshi Munekiyo - at the Arrow Jazz Orchestra Music School. For several years starting in 2001, she taught at the Yamaha School for Wind Orchestra. It was then that she led her own Jazz quintet, and enjoyed performances at Kobe and Osaka, which culminated in a CD, which was recorded at XEBEC Music Production Studios. She came to the United States, ultimately graduating from the Berklee College of Music as a professional music major, studying both Jazz French horn and composition. While there, she studied Jazz improvisation with Tiger Okoshi, Christine Fawson, and Jeff Galindo.
