Hi there. I am professional musician born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I am a Viola Player in a Opera House´s Symphony Orchestra in Buenos Aires. I have also studied Classical Guitar, Violin, Piano, Composition and Orchestral Conducting in my country`s national conservatory. But.. I am mostly a popular music player, and I love Pop/Rock music. Even when I have a very fast sightseeing sheet music skills, i think that for playing popular music is by far more important developing the intuition, as a main criteria for choosing what to do. Speaking about Popular music; I play Rock, Pop, Ballads and Blues. I also compose and arrange for groups of such music. I have toured all around the world playing music, as a guitar player and arranger, and also as a Violin player. I have many years of experience on teaching to students, and i think the most important thing is to be flexible to be able to see what the student really needs to develope his art. Thank you very much for reading. Hola a todos. Soy un músico profesional nacido en Buenos Aires, Argentina. Soy violista en la Orquesta Sinfónica de un Teatro de Ópera en Buenos Aires. También he estudiado guitarra clásica, violín, piano, composición y dirección orquestal en el conservatorio nacional de mi país. Pero… soy principalmente un intérprete de música popular, y me encanta la música Pop/Rock. Aun cuando tengo una habilidad muy destacada para tocar partituras, creo que para tocar música popular es mucho más importante desarrollar la intuición, como criterio principal para elegir qué hacer. Hablando de música popular; toco Rock, Pop, Baladas y Blues. También compongo y hago arreglos para grupos de este tipo de música. He realizado giras por todo el mundo tocando música, como guitarrista y arreglador, y también como violinista. Tengo muchos años de experiencia en enseñar y considero que lo mas importante es amoldarse a las necesidades de cada alumno. Muchas gracias por leer.

Hello, my name is Seiji. a native Japanese speaker. I’m from Tokyo, born and raised, but I live in Izu in Shizuoka prefecture and doing tour guide now. I used to live in Australia when I was 20’s, and have experiences of working at foreign companies for 11 years after I came back to Japan so I speak English too. I have traveled all around Japan by motorbike so I know many beautiful places in Japan. I think I can help you if you are planning to visit Japan in near future. I also did overseas travel over 80 times and visited many countries so I may have been visited your country! Beside that, I also like playing music (playing guitar, piano and singing in an acappella chorus group). Now I’m teaching music too. Also I like to Cycling, Hiking, Camping, Scuba diving and Snorkeling. I’m also Yoga instructor as well. I’m interested in not only sports, but also very interested in Japanese history, culture and religion too. So I’m quite curious person. Let’s talk about those topics in my lesson! In my lesson, I focus on having natural conversation first, rather than using textbook. But It’s also possible to use your Japanese language textbook, if you have it. Also if you are already in intermediate level and would like to get a job in Japan, I can teach you a professional business Japanese too. I can help you because I have been working in Japan for many years and have experiences of job hunting too. So let’s meet at on-line lesson soon!
