It Took Me Four Years

to Finish Just One Song…
That Was Me
When I Was Learning on My Own.
Today, I work professionally as a composer and arranger,
and I also teach composition, arranging, and music production.
But I was not able to create music from the beginning.
I was once just like many independent producers—
struggling to learn music production entirely on my own.
Even after searching for information online,
I still could not answer some very basic questions:
✓ Where should I start?
✓ Am I doing this correctly?
✓ Why doesn’t my music sound the way I imagined?
I continued making music for years while feeling stuck and uncertain.
The result?
In four years,
I managed to finish only one song.
Having been through this myself,
there is one thing I can say with confidence.
If you are struggling to finish a song,
it is not because you lack talent.
You simply have not found
the right way to learn—yet.

Why Is It So Hard to Improve on Your Own?
There is no shortage of information about music production on YouTube and social media.
So why is it still so difficult to improve on your own?
There are several reasons.
So why is it still so difficult to improve on your own?
There are several reasons.
CONTENT DESIGNED FOR VIEWS
On YouTube and social media, content is often created primarily to attract views.
As a result, much of it focuses on flashy demonstrations and quick techniques.
The essential principles of composition tend to receive far less attention because they are not as immediately entertaining.

The essential principles of composition tend to receive far less attention because they are not as immediately entertaining.
NO CLEAR LEARNING PATH
Searching online will bring up countless resources on composition and music production.
However, those resources do not organize what you should learn—or in what order—based on your current level and goals.
As a result, you may spend time on lower-priority topics and take unnecessary detours.

As a result, you may spend time on lower-priority topics and take unnecessary detours.
NO OBJECTIVE FEEDBACK
Even if you are able to create music by following YouTube videos and social media posts, objectively evaluating your own work is difficult.
Without outside feedback, you may not notice what needs improvement and assume your song is working better than it really is.

I Took the Long Way—
So You Don’t Have To.
So You Don’t Have To.
I spent years learning on my own, getting stuck time and again and struggling to create the music I imagined.
Because of that experience, I understand firsthand where beginners and self-taught producers are most likely to struggle.
These lessons do not follow a fixed, one-size-fits-all curriculum.
Instead, I create a personalized learning plan based on your current level and goals, focusing on exactly what you need to move forward.
My aim is to help you create the jazz or electro swing you envision as efficiently as possible—without unnecessary detours.

What Makes These Lessons Different
You can learn music production and composition
at many music schools.
However, in specialized genres such as
Jazz and Electro Swing,
the depth of what you can learn depends greatly on
whether the instructor actually creates music
in those styles.
Here are the key ways these lessons differ
from standard music school programs.

When the Instructor Is Not a Genre Specialist

Can Lead to Unnecessary Detours
Can Lead to Unnecessary Detours
At many music schools, the school first asks about
the student’s goals and then assigns an instructor.
If no instructor specializes in the student’s preferred genre,
the student may be assigned someone
from a different musical background.
As a result, the lessons may naturally lean toward
the instructor’s own strengths,
making it harder to achieve the sound
the student actually wants to create.

Lessons Focused on Your Goals
Reach Your Goals Efficiently—
Not Simply Stay Enrolled Longer
Not Simply Stay Enrolled Longer
At general music schools,
sales inevitably become important,
so in many cases, their programs are structured
to emphasize how to keep students
continuing their lessons.
Of course, being able to continue
while enjoying yourself is also important.
However, these lessons place greater importance
on helping students move closer to their purposes
and goals as quickly as possible
than on having them attend for a long time.
When a student becomes able to proceed
with music production sufficiently on their own,
I do not unnecessarily recommend
that they continue taking lessons.
I also value having them move on to the next step
by graduating from the lessons.

T
I wanted to try creating Jazz,
but I had difficulty finding a good teacher.
Since I started taking lessons regularly,
I have been able to organize my understanding
of chords and arranging techniques,
and I have become able to complete Jazz songs.
I believe this is a unique service
where you can learn directly from a professional
in Jazz music instead of struggling alone.
I Found a Teacher
Who Is Knowledgeable About Electro Swing
Who Is Knowledgeable About Electro Swing
A
I wanted to become able to create Electro Swing,
but other schools did not have specialized instructors,
and even when I took lessons,
they were mostly focused on pop music.
After meeting an instructor
who actually creates Electro Swing
and learning how to think about structure and arranging,
I finally began to understand how to create it.
I realized how important it is to find an instructor
who truly understands the genre you want to learn.
I Understood How to Apply Theory

S
I receive focused instruction in Jazz theory.
Even difficult subjects are explained
by connecting them to practical use,
so they are very easy to understand,
and I look forward to every lesson.
By continuing the lessons,
I became able to clearly understand
how to apply theory to my music.
I Can Learn What to Improve
While Looking at My Project Files

Y
It is very practical because I can learn
what needs to be improved
while looking at my actual project files,
rather than learning only theory.
Even in a short period of time,
the level of completion of my songs
has improved significantly.

The schedule will be arranged while taking time differences into account.
If taking the lesson in Japanese is difficult, I can also assist you using translation tools.
Students are currently taking lessons from countries including the United States and Austria.
Current Enrollment Status
To give each student my full attention in one-on-one lessons, I limit the number of students I accept.
Thankfully, I am currently receiving an increasing number of inquiries not only from Japan but also from overseas, and availability is limited.
Enrollment may close once all available slots are filled. If you are interested, please feel free to start by booking a trial lesson.

Your Music Will Become Special to Someone
As I mentioned at the beginning,
I was once completely unable to create songs through self-study.
I struggled many times and took many detours.
Even so, I continued learning.
By taking lessons from teachers,
I gradually came to understand the structure
and thought processes behind music production.
Now, while working as a composer, arranger,
and music production instructor,
I have also been involved in providing music for games and artists.
Even so,
whenever I see my name credited in a creator’s work or watch an artist continue
to perform one of my songs on stage,
I think from the bottom of my heart:
“I’m glad I continued making music.”
That is because I can truly feel that a song I created has become special to someone.
I believe this is an experience that only those who create music can have.
Of course, you do not need to aim for major achievements from the beginning.
A song you create may become special to a friend,
a fan, or someone who listens to your work. That alone is a truly wonderful experience.
Let’s bring to life a song that is special not only to you, but also to someone else.
I will support you to the best of my ability.
