Mitempo Academy: Domina tu instrumento, diseña tu sonido y vive la música Bienvenido a una nueva forma de aprender música. Si estás leyendo esto, probablemente sientes que hay una brecha entre la música que escuchas en tu cabeza y lo que tus manos pueden tocar. Tal vez has intentado aprender con tutoriales dispersos en internet, o quizás has tenido clases tradicionales donde la teoría te aburrió antes de poder tocar tu primera canción. Mi objetivo es cerrar esa brecha desde la primera sesión. ¿Quién soy? El Arquitecto de tu Música Soy un apasionado de la estructura y el arte. Como arquitecto de profesión y músico de vocación, entiendo que la música, al igual que un edificio, necesita cimientos sólidos para mantenerse en pie, pero necesita diseño y creatividad para ser habitable y hermosa. He fusionado mi formación académica con mi experiencia como músico empírico para crear una metodología única. Entiendo la frustración de aprender por tu cuenta y sé exactamente cómo estructurar el conocimiento para que sea digerible, lógico y, sobre todo, aplicable. No solo te enseñaré dónde poner los dedos; te enseñaré a construir tu propia identidad musical. Mi Metodología: Práctica, Lógica y Creativa En Mitempo Academy, rompemos el molde de la enseñanza antigua. Mi enfoque se centra en tres pilares: Aprender haciendo (Hands-on): La teoría es vital, pero es inútil si no suena. Aquí no pasaremos meses estudiando partituras sin tocar. Desde las primeras clases, estarás tocando canciones reales. Usamos la música que te apasiona (Rock, Pop, Indie, Clásica) como vehículo para entender la técnica. Tecnología y Modernidad: Vivimos en la era digital. Mis clases integran herramientas modernas, software y recursos actuales. Si te interesa el mundo de la producción o cómo lograr ese tono específico de tu guitarrista favorito, este es tu lugar. Creatividad sobre Repetición: Muchos profesores crean "robots" que repiten notas. Yo formo artistas. Te daré las herramientas para que entiendas el "porqué" de las cosas, permitiéndote improvisar, componer y arreglar tus propias piezas. La Experiencia Mitempo Academy Al tomar clases conmigo, no solo contratas a un profesor, te unes a un proyecto educativo ambicioso. Cuento con instalaciones físicas dedicadas (en Matehuala) y una potente plataforma para enseñanza online. Para Guitarristas: Desglosaremos el diapasón para que deje de ser un misterio. Dominarás acordes, escalas, técnicas de púa y dedos, y ritmo. Para Futuros Músicos: Si empiezas de cero, te guiaré con paciencia infinita. Para Músicos Intermedios: Si te sientes estancado, analizaremos tus vicios técnicos y desbloquearemos el siguiente nivel de velocidad y expresividad. ¿Por qué elegirme? La música es un lenguaje social. Además de la técnica individual, fomento una visión de comunidad. Quiero que te sientas capaz de tocar con otros, de subirte a un escenario o de grabar tus ideas. Mis clases son espacios seguros donde el error es bienvenido porque es parte del aprendizaje, y donde el aburrimiento está prohibido. Da el primer paso hoy El "momento perfecto" para aprender no existe, el momento es ahora. Ya sea que busques tocar alrededor de una fogata con amigos, fundar tu propia banda de rock, o simplemente entender la magia detrás de tus canciones favoritas, tengo el mapa para llevarte ahí. Cuento con horarios flexibles y opciones tanto presenciales en mis instalaciones como online con audio de alta calidad. No dejes pasar otro año diciendo "algún día aprenderé". Reserva tu primera clase hoy, hablemos de tus metas y empecemos a construir tu legado musical. ¡Te espero en clase!

Hi, I’m Jay. No matter what age you are, you can play the guitar, bass guitar or ukulele! If you can put in the time and commitment, I can guide you to being able to enjoy playing music. In my lessons my specialism is patience and a personalised approach. Whether you want to play just for your own pleasure, for performance, to be able to jam in a band, or to pass exams, I will work with you to help you to achieve your goals. This is my story. I began playing guitar as a child, my dad showed my my first chords and how to strum, then I started classical guitar lessons aged 10. I got my ABRSM classical guitar and theory grades 5 whilst in high school and went on to get a GCSE, an A-level and a degree in music. Despite my classical training my passion has always been for rock, pop and heavy metal music. I started teaching myself electric guitar in my teens and went on to play in several local goth, death and doom metal bands. In 2008 a friend of mine asked me if I would teach his young son to play guitar. It was an eye opening experience! I hadn’t realised how much I had taken my abilities as a musician for granted. I couldn’t believe how many aspects of playing, that I thought were so simple, were for a beginner incredibly hard. It made me realise that I had more to offer the world as a musician than I had thought before. As I result of this, in my early 30’s, I decided to work towards making music into my living rather than just a hobby. I began to fill in some of the gaps in my musical education. I started taking guitar lessons again and learned about improvisation and jazz by playing in some amateur jazz ensembles. Having only dabbled in the instrument before, I seriously took up bass guitar and discovered a deep love and satisfaction from playing the bass. To increase my confidence, I became a regular open mic performer. I gained grade 8 qualifications in bass guitar and electric guitar. I went back to classical guitar lessons and finally passed the classical guitar grade 8 exam, that I had failed previously. I even took up ukulele and drums. I became a full time musician in 2015, teaching guitar, bass, ukulele and drums in schools and just guitar, bass and ukulele at home. I also play guitar and bass in local bands and in the orchestra pit in theatres. Where could your story take you? Over the years I have seen many of my students discover and increase their confidence and ability in music. I am very mindful of how different people learn at different paces and have very different goals, strengths and weaknesses. I have developed a wide range of teaching strategies to suit a wide range of learners and I can’t wait to take you on your musical journey.
