After an enormous commitment of start up work for creating some programs between California State University Eastbay　and Hosei University (one of the Japanese private universities in Tokyo), her long term passion for music made her go back to school and shifted her career in her mid-thirties.

After moving to San Jose, CA for her husband's job change, she taught general music to regular and special needs students in Cupertino Union School District for ten years while she was serving as a board of directors in MTAC Santa Clara branch. Later on, Haruna opened her dream local music school in 2019 to continue her teaching with a lot of passion to share the love of music and pass her musical experience and understanding to nurture the next generation - senior. Her voice and piano students have been taking grade certification in MTAC/ CAPMT (MTNA)/ ABRSM.
