“Nanae has been a supportive and patient teacher as I get back into playing guitar after many years off. I was very nervous to begin taking lessons again, but she made me feel immediately comfortable. She is a motivating teacher, and works at a pace that pushes you to improve but is not overwhelming. My lesson with Nanae has definitely become a bright spot in every week. She has helped me find my passion for playing again!”

“I have been taking lessons from Nanae for 5+ years. She is a skilled, professional musician who enjoys sharing her passion with her students. Nanae is a patient instructor and always able to adapt to one’s level and skillset. I started a beginner who couldn’t read music and have made great stride in my skills while becoming so much more confident in myself. I highly recommend Nanae as an instructor.”

“My son has been taking classical guitar lessons from Nanae for over 6 years now and the experience has been wonderful. She is a brilliant teacher and is always bringing new things to him. Her lessons are well thought out, and her attention to detail is a big part of her curriculum, which sets her apart from many other guitar teachers. With a very deep repertoire, Nanae has led our son down many paths through different eras and styles of classical music and exposed him to a wide range of composers. She is a great motivator and our son has grown tremendously under her tutelage and is currently planning his college career around classical guitar and music. I would recommend her to anyone from beginner to advanced student.”

“I am a guitarist based in Colorado, USA. I received skype lessons from Nanae Fujiwara and I can describe her not only as an amazing musician but also as an excellent teacher. I was pleased to meet her and the way she treats you is sublime from the first moment. She is very patient and the way she explains the details to work on musicality and technique are quite clear. I have learned many good resources to apply to my music such as phrasing, conduction, and sensitivity. I am incredibly grateful and happy to learn from her because I improved my skills as a musician, and every student she has is truly fortunate to take lessons with her. ”

From careful and precise technical exercises, to creative and insightful discussions about how best to bring out the beauty, and even heartbreak, of a piece of music, lessons with Nanae have been a wonderful way to improve all aspects of my playing.”
