Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I LOVE playing music and teaching music. I am a very dedicated. I respect and appreciate music. It's life and has been very exciting so I do my best to share / teach what I have learned and will learn. My various students have told me that my lesson is eye opener and surprised to learn such small things are very effective and fun often. It is so delightful and awesome to witness the progress and achievements my students are getting, who are having fun learning, getting out there and playing out and sharing! And simply music is awesome and I am playing music and you are playing music that is what I like most about my job!

Absolutely fantastic. I look forward to meeting with her every week. Her teaching technique is exactly what I needed. She is an excellent teacher! Tsuzumi was very thorough and encouraging. I am enjoying playing bass more and more. I highly recommend Tsuzumi for her teaching skills, experience, patient and kindness, I feel very happy to continue learning with her!

She became our 2 daughters' (8yrs & 6yrs) music teacher recently. She is very good. What we like about her most is that she provides their lessons according to their needs. Girls really enjoy taking the lesson.

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    It naturally happened by getting together with friends started to share what I know and I gave advises when they ask me about my performance. I was so happy to see them get excited about my ideas and tricks. So I wanted to expand it when I built my confidence to do so, and decided to take the responsibility.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    As I have experienced, I believe you will know when you meet your right provider/ professional/ teacher by being very excited about what you learn and achieve. So I would like everyone to make sure to have actual progress, and if you are having fun and feel passionate about it, that is the best sign. It is hard to chose one especially when you are a no experienced a beginner, however my advise is to follow your gut by actually meeting and learning! It really is IMPORTANT to have a provider who are passionate about what you are learning and can push and encourage you to take it to next level.

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    It's been an amazing and inspiring experiences to play music with musicians I respect. Even with my heros! I deeply want every musicians to feel the excitement and chemistry, how awesome it is to be able to express and inspire each other with other musicians. I always keep my goals high to get to the next level, and I always wish the same to the others. So I positively teach how to play but also how to communicate when you play music as well. I have lots of experience playing bass live on stages, recordings and have played or been in a band including my original band. I have worked/ performed with Michael Bland (of Prince) Nicko McBrain (of Iron Maiden), Billy Sheehan (of Mr. Big, David Lee Roth, Niacin, and The Winery Dogs), Vinny Appice (of DIO, Heaven & Hell), Steven Adler (of Guns N Roses), Matt Sorum (of Velvet Revolver, The Cult, Guns N Roses), Dizzy Reed (of Guns and Roses), Ray Luzier (of Korn, David Lee Roth Band), Johnny Kelly (of Danzig and Type O negative), Eric Dover (of Slash's Snake Pit, Alice Cooper, and Jelly Fish) Brian Tichy, and Marco Minnemann.
