The goal of Animaguitara is to encourage guitar learners from all walks of life to perform from the studio to the stage. Sounds of Freedom is a performance platform that features the students of Jonathan Gonzales. Last summer 2016, we staged the mini-concert at the Salvatorre Lounge in Makati. Sounds of Freedom featured live solo guitar performances and performances with a band. Animaguitara has been offering programs in guitar education and small ensemble instruction since 2003.
Incidentally, the lounge is also a treasure trove of memorabilia and signature guitars displayed on the walls to delight guitar aficionados.
Sounds of Freedom 2015 was launched at the Salvatorre Lounge in Makati. Students of Teacher Jonathan performed on stage to the delight of friends and parents. The lounge has some of the most sought-after guitars considered collector’s items displayed on the walls. State-of-the-art equipment and band gear were on the stage. It was quite an experience for all of us. Aside from providing a platform for students to experience the full range of learning music through public performance, we thought that it would be good for students to experience what it is like to play using professional music equipment. Cheers to twelve years of awesome guitar education!
The 2013 edition of Sounds of Freedom marks Animaguitara’s tenth year in the music industry. We say cheers to ten years of pedagogically sound enrichment programs and productive recreation. We affirm our commitment to the public trust we have been nurturing for a decade. While we have always insisted on quality guitar programs, we have since expanded to other music endeavors — for we choose to remain responsive to the wants and needs of people from all walks of life. We uphold the highest professional standards in music instruction, yet we seek relevance in a contemporary world. We know your pulse.
Last June 2, 2013, we celebrated Sounds of Freedom with the support of JB Music Philippines.
Sounds of Freedom is part of two major shows annually produced by Animaguitara. These shows feature the students, allied artists, and performer-educator Jonathan Gonzales. It is only one of the several platforms provided by Animaguitara, to allow our students to interact not only with their peers but with professional musicians as well. Incidentally, it is also our way of celebrating Independence Month as we extend our gratitude to parents, students, fellow artists, JB Music Philippines, and the public — for supporting independent artists. We brought Sounds of Freedom III to Bonifacio Global City and it was indeed a remarkable experience for all of us.
Cheers to ten years of beautiful music!
We would love to get to know you and share our passion for music.
Yet another milestone for Animaguitara! JB Music Philippines indeed supports music educators by providing top of the line music instruments, accessories, and recording gear for Teacher Jonathan and our students. Our students were certainly happy and nervous at the same time, but they played their hearts out — with quite a few of our young guitar heroes showing some licks from Andy McKee, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Jimmy Hendrix, Carlos Santana, and other guitar greats.
We truly treasure this growing relationship with JB Music!
When we use the word “young”, we mean these are really just kids who, instead of being idle, happen to be making good music — and enjoying it so much! Kudos to their parents for bringing them up well and choosing Animaguitara for a productive way to learn and be creative.
