About Us
Kanzen Guitar Academy is a home based music school that was founded by Walter and Javier Yap, father and son, to address the major flaws of typical music lessons:
little to no focus on composing, improvising
and understanding music on a deeper level
Here at Kanzen, we strive to help students unlock musical freedom so that they can fully express themselves​
Did you know?
Research in the Psychology of Music has consistently shown that musical training, including guitar playing, can improve various cognitive functions.
A study published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience found that musicians exhibit enhanced memory, problem-solving skills, and academic performance compared to non-musicians.

Our prices
-
How are you different from other schools?We teach with the goal of helping students achieve musical freedom, where we focus on equipping our students with theory, and its practical applications like creating their own music instead of blindly memorising scales and songs
-
Is there a maximum number of students in the group session?Yes. The maximum number of students per group will be 4. This is to ensure that our instructors' time and focus is not stretched too thin, thus making the lesson as enjoyable and productive as possible. However, alternative arrangements can be made to accomodate more students in a longer duration per session if you wish.
-
How long should I practice per day?We recommend 1 hour daily as consistent practice leads to more substantial skill development. A study published in Psychological Science found that spaced repetition (practicing over time) enhances long-term retention and mastery of skills compared to cramming or infrequent practice.
-
How does the money back guarantee work?After each lesson, there will be tasks assigned as homework for our students. As their homework, they will have to practice and record a progress video as proof of having practiced. Additionally, it trains students to be more confident in front of cameras. This also allows us to give feedback on their technique, tone, feel and more. Provided that student(s) submit their videos weekly, they will be eligible for the refund within a month from the first lesson if there is no progress.
-
Do you offer online lessons?Yes! However physical lessons are still preferred as it will be much easier for you to learn and for us to demonstrate proper techniques.
