Koji and I go back to our college days, back when playing music professionally was just a distant dream. Since then, I’ve watched him work tirelessly and with the utmost passion to achieve his goals. He has truly devoted his life to the double bass and his craft. What I appreciate most about his approach to music is how well-rounded it is: he has the rigorous academic background of a Master’s in Jazz Studies from Michigan State University, combined with the invaluable, practical experience of playing live shows alongside some of the best talent in the world. Because of this shared journey, I know exactly how much he has to share. Anyone taking a lesson from Koji is learning from someone with a plethora of knowledge to give. I highly recommend him!
Koji is an amazing bass teacher! He’s patient, knowledgeable and also so funny. I never got bored in a lesson and I’ve been really pushed to sound great!
I've been taking bass lessons with Koji for the past several months, and I can honestly say it's been one of the best musical investments I've ever made. From day one, he created a welcoming and encouraging environment that made me excited to learn and improve.
What sets Koji apart is his ability to tailor each lesson to my specific goals and skill level. Whether breaking down complex techniques, helping me understand music theory in a practical way, or introducing me to new styles and grooves, every session feels personalized and purposeful. He has a gift for explaining things clearly and patiently, never making me feel rushed or discouraged.
Beyond technique, Koji taught me how to truly listen, feel the music, and lock in with a drummer—skills that have transformed not just my playing but my confidence as a musician. Thanks to him, I've grown from a beginner who barely knew where to place my fingers to someone comfortable jamming with others and even playing live.
If you're looking for a bass teacher who is knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in your progress, I can't recommend Koji enough. He is a phenomenal player and an even better teacher.I've been taking bass lessons with Koji for the past several months, and I can honestly say it's been one of the best musical investments I've ever made.

In addition to his stellar musicianship, he is also someone who cares deeply for others and gives 110% to everything he does. I’ve gotten to see these qualities of his firsthand as a guitarist working in a couple of his groups, I know that any student of his will have the same experience.
