Hi! I’m Julian Mayer, guitar and bass teacher. I started playing guitar at age 12. By the age of 19 I was attending the Popular Music Conservatory and trained for 5 years. At the same time I graduated with a Bachelors degree in music production and recording (CEARTEC). In my twenties I began traveling the world with different bands and have since then worked in China, The Maldives, US and several of the major cruise-line companies throughout all parts of the globe (Carnival, Holland-America, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, The World). 15 years of gigging and traveling (theatre production orchestras, trios, quartets and solo guitarist/singer) have given me experience as a musician. I finally settled in Barcelona in 2021 and have since then been playing as a guitarist, bassist, and singer in different cover bands (Pacto entre caballeros, Eduardo Introcaso Quartet, Jazz de Copes Quintet) and performing solo.
I've taught Guitar private lessons since my twenties(and still do) and in two private schools in Buenos Aires (Saint Andrews Scotts School and Belgrano Dayschool).
I've self-recorded and self- produced multiple albums. My degree is in recording/production, so I would love to help anyone getting started in that area. I also teach music theory for those interested in learning theory.
When teaching, I think technique is important but I always try to focus on the fastest and most enjoyable way of getting to play the music that’s of interest. What's the point in learning scales if you can't play the song you want to play? We will focus on all aspects of learning music at the same time. When we study technique it will always be by doing it in a musical way, not purely mechanical, and in service of what we want to learn to play. I'm very patient and I love to teach. I'll accommodate my teaching style to the individual student and what works better for him according to his personality. The path of discovering our own individual and unique voice on our instrument can truly be a blessing. I look forward to teaching you!
