Hello guitar lovers!

I have my own method (Jam Now! Guitar Method) for beginners and intermediate players who are looking for a well-structured plan that guarantees improvement, tracking the student's progress weekly. These are some of the things I can help you with:

-Prepare an audition to access a music degree
-Improve one or more aspects of the student's technique
-Improve knowledge of theory/harmony
-Learn improvisation
-Learn different styles or focus on a particular style
-Learn to play songs from your favorite artists
-Practice with different effects pedals
-How to create your own demos (drum programming, midi and vocals, and guitar recording using Pro Tools and Logic Pro X)
-Songwriting

Depending on your goal and your level I prepare a plan with small deadlines that can vary depending on the student's progress. Independently of the goal I always try to make sure the student have fun during the process, I'm a friendly person who loves music and teaching.

Feel free to contact me to discuss anything.

Carlos

About Me
I am an empathetic person, who loves teaching and songwriting, and who firmly believes in the influence music exerts on the creativity of those who practice it.

I have been teaching since 2014, starting modestly in a small cultural center in my hometown in Spain, moving on to emigrate to the United Kingdom pursuing a career in music. Since my arrival in 2016, I have completed a degree in Creative Musicianship, I have played in important venues in London with the Turkish artist Selin Geçit, I have founded my own musical project, of which I am a producer and composer, I have created a guitar method for beginners focused on improvisation and modern styles, and I have participated in independent film projects, winning an award at the 2018 Raindance Film Festival in London.

I feel very comfortable teaching band performance and songwriting since they are my passion, as well as modern guitar techniques and music theory.
As a musical director, I have experience leading original and cover bands since I started my first group in 2012, apart from the experience learned during the band performance sessions at BIMM London.

Most of the musical projects I have been involved are rock related, but I have also played latin styles and pop in a Dance Orchestra in Spain, and funk and soul with Selin Geçit’s band.

My time management and planning skills are excellent, something essential to coordinate artistic projects and guarantee the progress of students. My musical background and years of teaching have made me good at inspiring students and squeezing their creativity out of them.

Don't hesitate to drop me a message!

Learning how to play the piano is a relaxing activity that can be taught from the age of 6. They can learn their favourite disney songs or even start doing formal exams if they are up for the commitment. Whilst learning how to play the piano, they can also learn a valuable skill of reading written music.

I am very open to any area of music subject, theory or technical abilities wishing to be covered or improved upon.
Any level of ability can be suited for, from beginner riffs to the more intermediate/advanced level player wanting to tweak, polish and improve their playing or a particular area.
I am a laid back tutor, patient, with my main goal being help others achieve more musical independence by teaching them the fundamentals that you probably already know!

Songwriting is a fantastic skill whether you are a beginner or want to improve your songwriting capabilities. Not only will your musical abilities improve but so will you english language capabilities as we look to marry music and lyrics in the best possible way. Not only is it a great industry to get into, songwriting has enormous benefits to mental health as it provides a platform for creative expression which in my many years of experience has helped so many of my younger as well as older students. In my class, you will learn the foundations behind creating a great song including: Songwriting forms and structure in all genres, music theory and understanding chord progressions and modes, breaking music theory conventions in order to create a unique sound, great songwriting tools to help with 'writers block', performance coaching and how to convey your songs message on stage as well as all things music industry, including the importance of copyright and how to protect your songs. My students will be working with me on constructing songs as beginners and my more experienced songwriting students will work with professional music industry briefs that I will provide. Students will be able to write songs comfortably and autonomously after only a handful of lessons with me.

Using jazz music as my specialism, I am able to teach even the most technically challenging concepts in their most basic forms and transfer them to the guitar in their most simple terms. I have taught the guitar, music theory and GCSE and A-Level Music syllabuses for six years to students of all ages and abilities and across every imaginable genre.

I believe lessons should be first and foremost enjoyable, but also serve as a means to break new ground and inspire as much practice as possible at home! So we'll start by establishing an objective of the student's choice that reflects their ambitions, and then work through the appropriate techniques, exercises, and repertoire that allows us to get there in as enjoyable a way as possible!

Lessons will be supplemented with listening/aural exercises, music theory training, and performance/contextual discussions (if necessary!).
