Welcome! My name is Sean Matsukawa. I am a 2 time Grammy award winner and have worked with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Ariana Grande, ROSALÍA, and more. I have over 15 years of experience as an audio engineer & producer and 20 years of experience as a guitarist and bassist. I am passionate about sharing the knowledge and tools to help aspiring musicians create what they would like to create and play how they would love to play.

I teach beginning bluegrass banjo, clawhammer banjo, ukulele, guitar, and bluegrass mandolin on Google Meet. I've taught music for over a decade. My unique teaching style combines personal creative coaching with teaching music. I've also been featured by best selling author Jen Sincero for my photo featuring her book. My online store specializes in traditional and bluegrass books that may be difficult to find elsewhere. I love helping people realize that they can indeed make their own music and sound great in doing so! I love the fact I'm helping people in getting their muse going thru their chosen instrument.

Have been passionate about music my whole life. Began writing songs since 1st grade and picked up my guitar at age 13. Professional voice lessons throughout my life/constant gigs and projects. Also know how to produce own music. I am someone who is incredibly patient and am not biased in age. I mix theory and creativity so one is not more focused than the other. I love to help others and am very encouraging, I've taught early childhood classes before and private guitar and singing lessons. Music is what I'd like to do for the rest of my life, am a left-handed guitarist but can teach both.
