Aya started studying music at the age of six.
Another six years later, when she was twelve, she took up the marimba and percussion. After graduating high school, a time in which she already played many solo concerts,
she went on to study at the Toho-Gakuen school of music in Tokyo,
where she was taught by the world-renowned marimba player Keiko Abe.
This led up to a first prize in The contest of Marimba Spiritual in 2012, which was held in the memory of composer Minoru Miki.
