I could not be happier than taking drumming lessons at Studio Wood. Yu is an excellent teacher who patiently leads the student through each learning step with a good mix of clear explanation, well-chosen reference songs to play along, and usage of his diligently compiled learning materials - not to forget the demonstrations of his own drumming, which is amazing. I'm having lots of fun and feel like I am making progress with each lesson, all the while noticing that my confidence and understanding are increasing. Yu speaks great English, so communication is no problem at all. I look forward to learning much more, and highly recommend this drumming school.

I really enjoy taking drum lessons with Yu. He's really friendly and explains things clearly. He's very skilled and knowledgeable about both drums and music more broadly. After only a few months as a beginner I've already learned a lot.

Tomorrow will be my 10th lesson with Yu, and I can safely say he is an absolutley amazing teacher! Although I have a background in music, I had very little experience with the drums. Since I've started I have noticed a steady progression in my skill level each week. Yu has a fantastic ability to break things down into very simple terms, and somehow make things click for me.If you're thinking of starting drum lessons here, I would highly recommend it. Yu speaks excellent English, and will have you playing drum breaks in no time!

Yu is a great drum teacher, and I’ve been really enjoying learning from him. He explains rhythms in a clear, logical way, making learning both engaging and intuitive. His supportive approach keeps me motivated, and I’m learning a lot as a beginner. It’s also valuable that the lessons are in English, which is extremely helpful for me as a non-Japanese speaker. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn.

Ever since I was a student, I've wanted to take up a hobby, and I've always wanted to play the drums, so I started.In lessons, I'm taught thoroughly from the basics, and it's fun to see my abilities gradually improve with each lesson. Even when I struggle to play well at first, a little advice from the teacher makes it easier, which is surprising.I've started paying more attention to the drums when listening to music, and it's interesting to discover that the beats I learned in class are used in various songs.I was also impressed that the teacher created sheet music to suit my level. The tempo is fast, so it's difficult, but I'm so happy when I can play along with the songs.I've only been taking lessons for a few months, but the twice-monthly lessons have recently become a way for me to relax and motivate myself, and I enjoy each lesson. I look forward to continued support!

I'm a beginner drummer. At other drum lessons, I've been told songs are too difficult for beginners, but here, you said I could do it. You created just the right sheet music, making it easy for beginners to play while still maintaining the sense of speed.In lessons, we don't just practice songs; we also practice other related rhythms. The teacher also plays the bass along with my drumming, and sometimes we play along with me, or slightly delayed, just like we're having fun. Changing the way I play the bass can make it easier or more difficult for me to play the drums. Until now, I'd just listened to music casually, but through this playful experience, I started to pay more attention to the cohesiveness of the sounds of multiple instruments, and I've been able to enjoy music in a new way.Your attention to detail is also spot-on. When I try to correct even the smallest of things, like how I hold the sticks, where I hit the drums, or how I step, the teacher suggests that making it easier to play, I'm grateful that I can now play rhythms that I couldn't before.My teacher tells me that I don't need to practice at home, so I hardly practice outside of the two lessons a month, but I can feel that I'm gradually getting better compared to my first lesson. Both the studio and the teacher are clean and easy to go to. I'm hoping to finish the song in the next few months.

I play electric guitar as a hobby, but I wanted to get a more accurate grasp of rhythm, and was influenced by YouTuber drummers so I decided to take up drums.He assigns me songs based on my favorite artists, and carefully teaches me each rhythm, from theory to practice, to match the songs I ultimately want to play.Every time I start learning a new rhythm, I feel the depth and joy of drumming, and each sound the teacher demonstrates is amazing and completely different from my own. My goal is to one day be able to play with that kind of sound.The teacher is very gentlemanly, but (naturally) passionate about music, and he kindly teaches me the fun, importance, and depth of drumming through his own example.When I play well, he sometimes gives me comments, and the one that sticks out most is, "Keep playing, and let the drums carry the whole song." Until now, I had never really thought about the importance of drums, but this one sentence made me realize that without drums, the rhythm of a song wouldn't work, and that's why I need to play the drums well. I still have a lot to learn, but I look forward to each class. Drums have now become a central part of my life. I look forward to your continued support.

I decided to take the drum lessons here after reading the reviews, and as the reviews said, the teachers are very good and it's so much fun that the hour seems to go by faster.She encourages me even when I make mistakes, and immediately gives me advice when I ask about things I don't understand, so I feel like I'm improving a lot! We hope to see you next month 🙂‍↕️

It's almost been a year since I took classes here. The teacher is very nice! At first, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to have a conversation during class because I couldn't speak Japanese, but the teacher's level of English was very good. The lesson content is simple and easy to understand, and you can learn it quickly.

Yu is a very talented drummer, who happens to be a very good teacher as well. He will adapt to your needs and to your schedule and add his wisdom and experience to every lesson.His English is exceptional, which makes things convenient if you´re a foreigner with low command of Japanese.

Good at teaching. Just by changing the way you hit a little, it will become easier to hit and you will be able to hit it. He will guide you through such points of improvement.I started attending without much thought, but they teach me the basics so that I can enjoy music without saying anything too difficult, so even a beginner like me can continue. Every time, they will take our request, so you can make it according to your mood of the day.One hour goes by quickly because the lessons are structured so that you can enjoy a sense of accomplishment every time.Lesson times and days of the week are also flexible, so it's easy for working people to attend.

I am indebted to the drum lessons.I enjoy practicing every time because I can have lessons tailored to the songs I want to play and what I want to do at that time.

I started out with no experience, and at first I thought I might give up halfway through or quit right away, but now I've come to love the drums. If you practice alone at home, etc., and if there is something you don't understand, or if you can't hit it well, you can ask for advice. Because it is one-on-one, you can have a lesson that suits you and it is easy to ask questions.

I started with no drum experience at all, but now I'm learning regularly because of the teacher's good personality and fun lessons.I couldn't do anything, but he taught me carefully from the basics in an easy-to-understand manner, and I was able to enjoy the drums completely.In addition to basic practice, she also teaches me songs I like according to my level, so I never get frustrated and have a good time.And I'm always impressed by the drums that the teacher actually beats in front of me and resonates with my body.It's a very nice drum class where you can't wait for the next lesson as soon as the lesson is over.
