Adaptive guitar lessons by an experienced songwriter/music producer. Learn how to find your own sound!

I'm Diego Kobayashi, a music tutor with a Diploma in Audio Production and over a year of experience teaching! Along with teaching I also have the following experience: 5 yrs producing and songwriting, 3 yrs regularly playing live and 2 yrs as a recording engineer/sound designer. I love working with beginners because it means getting to share my enthusiasm for music with somebody who has fresh new takes! For people interested in more advanced lessons; my expertise includes teaching fundamentals of harmony (complex chord progressions), introducing intermediate level music theory/production concepts and helping you find your personal flair when expressing yourself through music. Whether guitar or bass, I will make each lesson valuable and fun! So, if my profile fits your interests, hit me up and let's get started!!

My teaching approach is centered on making music enjoyable and approachable for every student. I teach acoustic, electric, and bass, and I carefully adapt each lesson to the student’s age, personality, and skill level. I use clear explanations and supportive visuals so students can easily understand and stay engaged. Outside of lessons, I provide practice videos, easy-to-read chord diagrams/tabs, and tailored, original, backing tracks so they can build confidence at home in a structured way. I believe that learning music is not just about mastering techniques, but also about developing creativity, patience, and self-expression. My goal is to create a positive, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and celebrating their progress. With a balance of fun activities and steady skill-building, I help students grow as musicians while fostering a lifelong love of music.
