Who is Javier Yap?

Javier co-founded Kanzen Guitar Academy with his father, Walter Yap, to offer a more thoughtful and creative alternative to typical music lessons. His calm, focused teaching style and wide musical knowledge make him a great fit for students of all levels — from complete beginners to those looking to deepen their skills.

Whether you're picking up the guitar for the first time or trying to break through a plateau, Javier guides you through both the technical and expressive sides of playing. He’s passionate about helping students develop true musical freedom — the ability to pick up your guitar and confidently play what you feel.

Lessons with Javier are structured, progress-focused, and tailored to your personal goals — whether that's learning worship songs, writing your own music, or mastering pop, rock, or funk.

He's available for free trial lessons, and would love to help you grow as a musician.
