    We all need music - now more than ever, as we live in this unprecedented times. My name is Mas and I have been serving communities around the world as an active musician and a music educator for over 20 years on saxophones, flute, and clarinet. I have been teaching private lessons as well as improvisation workshops and school enrichment programs. I believe in stress-free learning environment and I customize my lessons to suit the students learning styles. I all levels and ages including: - Elementary, middle, and high school students - Collegiate level music students - Adults learning for the first time/ getting back into playing - Amateur musicians Because of the pandemic I’m not offering in-person lessons, but online lessons have proven to be just as effective and I have had much success with my students all over the country. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

    As a language teacher, I was looking for a clarinet/saxophone instructor with excellent communication skills and the ability to teach musical technique in an empathetic way. I was lucky to find Masaru Koga in Cupertino, California. I enjoyed weekly lessons for about three years and really reached the point where I was constantly improving my clarinet mastery and getting closer to my performance goals. At one point, I became so enthusiastic, I also began saxophone lessons with Masaru! I looked froward to meeting him for my weekly lessons and felt he gave more than 100% in patience, encouragement, and musical technique. He has a very warm, giving personality and when we were together, I made great progress and was very motivated to study and practice on my own. I enthusiastically recommend Masaru Koga to other music students and wish I could be his student again!

    Encouraging and attentive, with a relaxed style of teaching. My son enjoyed his weekly saxophone lessons with Mas for several years.
