DAA ARTISTS: Lars Matsumiya

“Salute! My name is Lars. I am a Keio University student specializing in algorithms, programming, and computer-related. One of my hobbies is music. I started playing the piano a few years ago and have spent much time studying music theory and production. At first, I taught myself the basics of chords, harmonies, and scales, and now I mainly focus on creating jazz music. I mainly use Musescore 4 for music production, but GarageBand is also an effective alternative and easy to learn for beginners. I don't have much teaching experience - the only time I've taught was when I was a math tutor, mainly in high school - but I'm excited about this opportunity to collaborate with others and help spread the word about composition!
