Reviews
The two of us participated in the workshop and learned a lot. Tiffany has a great deal of experience with the instrument and teaching students! Later, we even received a video of the song we practiced. It was very entertaining and we had a lot of fun. We highly recommend the course.
Amazing experience I recommend it to anyone interested in music and in Japan in general !!
Friendly staffs, teacher was patient but seemed like he was in a rush, kept saying due to the time constraint and skipped the presentation and certain parts. I showed up at 11am as per booking on the day and noone was there at the facility, rang them but noone picked up initially. The itinerary on klook showed 1:30pm, which was confusing, so I came back at 1:30pm but still noone was there still. Called them and they picked up, ended up taking the lesson at a completely different location (40min walk) at 4pm. They did offer to pay for taxi. But the whole thing was just lots of hassle.
