" Kenji is a fantastic musician, teacher, and great person who has motivated me a lot in my guitar playing. I liked that his lesson plans were tailored to focus on my needs and goals. I enjoyed the direct feedback He gave me after we recorded jam sessions. He helped me reflect on my practise routines and what I need to focus on during practise. His teaching approach helped me with my other musical projects. "

I also found it really useful how he defines clear goals during the first lesson. It has helped me stay on track and motivated me to practice as I know what I am working towards.
