Testimonials from my students: "Using his comprehensive knowledge of guitar and music theory, Gaku serves as an excellent teacher that incorporates essential musical information with practical guitar techniques. As a beginner bass guitar student, Gaku taught me to keep tempo using a metronome in order to develop my rhythm and timing. His patience and determination not only helped me grow as a musician, but he instilled in me a passion for music that pushed me to practice my instrument. Gaku is a fantastic teacher full of wisdom and charm." - Mike Sciarappa "Gaku Murata is an exceptional teacher who is able to deconstruct complex information in such a way that it is accessible to students of all skill levels." - J. Gudell "I am writing to recommend without reservation Gaku Murata. My son began taking lessons as a beginner in June, 2005. It is one of the very best things that has happened to Andy in a long, long time. Yes, Gaku can teach you how to play the guitar, but his lessons are so much more than simply learning notes, chords and technique." - Bruce Pemberton "Gaku is a highly versatile, dynamic, as well as patient instructor. He is devoted to helping me learn, but more importantly he makes it a priority to have fun." - Richard Hunt "Gaku is a highly trained musician with a beautiful, instinctive feel for his guitar. He is also a funny and patient teacher who is extremely flexible in allowing his students to choose what to learn and when." - Deborah Amori "My name is David Stuart I've been taking lessons for a short time now and feel as if I am getting in touch with something I did not know was there, thanks to Gaku." - David Stuart
