I took lessons at the American Guitar Academy while working in Japan. I feel very lucky to have found out about the academy and highly recommend it to anyone interested in guitar while in Japan. My instructor was an experienced guitar teacher, and attentive to both my progress and my learning methods. Many times when...

Thank you for interesting lessons!  Though I’ve been playing the guitar for a while, I didn’t know what to do to become a more skilled player.  Since I’ve started to take lessons here, I found flaws in my playing and how to fix them, finally.

英語でギターが習えることが決め手でした！初心者にも分かりやすく教えてもらえるので安心です。アットホームな雰囲気なので、毎回のレッスンに行くのが楽しみです！　大学院留学というゴールを目指して頑張るモチベーションになっています！　家でも復習したり知識を得られるので、ブログやオンラインの動画、メルマガが役立っています！

I highly recommend learning guitar at The American Guitar Academy. After my first few lessons I was already noticeably much better at playing and was also learning guitar faster than I have ever had before. Plus, now I enjoy playing guitar more than I ever have!

After the second class I feel the communication is great, and he teaches me some ways to practice at home that was really helpful. Looking forward for the next lesson. 〇When did you start lessons at TAGA: 1 year ago 〇Lesson Style: Acoustic guitar 〇Nationality: Taiwan 　　〇Age: 27

My guitar classes are great!

Fell in love in the world of Blues, I came to The American Guitar Academy.  I was at a point where self-learning was not enough to take me to the next level on something that I am passionate about.  Thanks to my teacher’s dedicated teaching, after taking some lessons, the barrier to the next step...

At the American Guitar Academy, not only just learning songs, but I also got to strengthen my foundation and get to learn how to use various of techniques naturally.  It’s such a big difference between a player who gets the basics down compares to a player who doesn’t.

I love TAGA!  I have never really learned an instrument before and I feel like TAGA has encouraged and supported me every step of the way. I received a recommendation from a friend and I found out that the classes were in English, which was a major drawcard.  I also found Roppongi to be a...

American Guitar Academyの講師はギターの技術も素晴らしく、また教え方も上手のなで、毎回自分のスキルが上達しているのを感じることができます。また英語でもレッスンの中で英語で会話をすることができるので一石二鳥です！ 〇Lesson Style: Rock guitar, Blues guitar

I started to play the guitar again after about 20 years.  I am enjoying learning from the basics to something that I have never learned before regarding Music Theory.  Not only in just guitar, but now I have a deeper understanding of music over all.  I would like to thank my teacher, Michael Kaplan.
