About Naiki Takeshi

Hello! My name is Naiki Takeshi..
   
    I am a working musician with a passion for teaching and the music industry, I began teaching music in 2016 and I have experience teaching children, teenagers, and adults. For about 19 years of my life I have studied and performed music, I have been a composer for 11 years, and I have been a music producer for 7 years. My primary instruments are guitars and keyboards, I have experience playing both electric and acoustic guitars as well as 7-string and 8-string guitars. In addition to the guitar I teach keyboards including piano, synthesizer, and organ, and I also teach bass guitar, voice, drums/percussion, and ukulele. During my time working as a musician I have written, recorded, and produced music using all of these instruments except for ukulele, and I also have experience studying the drums, however most of this was gained while composing and producing music using drum programming software.

    As a teacher I would be happy to work with students who are interested in studying any of these instruments, and I can teach several genres of music such as Pop, Rock, Metal, Electronic, Blues, Funk, and Classical. Also, to help students develop and grow their knowledge I can teach different ways of approaching music such as playing songs and compositions as written using sheet music or tablature, understanding key, scales, modes, and chord theory, improvising, and using Pro Audio equipment and computer software. It would be my pleasure to help any student who would like to study with me.
