Presently serving full time at College of Music, Mahidol University, Jetjumnong Jongprasert is strongly committed to creating one of the most efficient classical guitar classrooms in Thailand that empowers students to achieve their best abilities.<\/p>\n
Jetjumpong received his professional trainings in Germany. In 2008, he became the first, and remains the only, Thai student who graduated from Robert Schumann Hochschule, D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany with a bachelor\u2019s degree in Classical Guitar Performance with honors. There, he studied under Prof. Alexander-Sergei Ramirez (\u201ca wizard at the guitar,\u201d The New Vision, USA) and Rafael Aguirre Minarro (\u201cthe future of concert guitar,\u201d Kultur Post, Germany). During the time in D\u00fcsseldorf, Jetjumnong was chosen as a guitarist member of \u201cLive Music Now- Yehudi Menuhin\u201d and was invited to perform at the \u201cInternational Gitarrenmatineen D\u00fcsseldorf 2011 festival.\u201d<\/p>\n
Later, he continued to pursue further studies in K\u00fcnstlerische Reifepr\u00fcfung (Artistic Maturity Examination Diploma) program under Wolfgang Lendle (1948-2016) (a student of the legendary guitarist – Andres Segovia) and Boris Tesic at Musikakademie der Stadt Kassel \u201cLouis Spohr,\u201d Kassel, Germany. He also had received coaching in guitar ensemble from Michael Troester.<\/p>\n
During those periods of time, he was invited to perform in various concerts throughout Europe, including ones in Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Lichtenstein, etc. and had experienced numbers of music and classical guitar activities. He also had masterclasses and extra lessons with other prestigious guitarists including Eliot Fisk, Thomas M\u00fcller-Pering, Judicael Perroy, Paolo Pegoraro, Marcin Dylla, Alvaro Pierri, Jason Vieux, Michael Lewin, Tadashi Sasaki, among others.<\/p>\n
Jetjumnong decided to finally return to Thailand after five years in Germany with the determination to develop classical guitar studies in Thailand, trusting that his teaching experiences of more than 15 years and extensive experiences from Europe should enable him to materialize his determination.<\/p>\n
In addition to regularly giving concerts and masterclasses including serving as jury in music competitions, his contributions in Thailand in the past include acting as the present of the \u201cNaissance Young Classical Guitarists Competition\u201d and the \u201cClassical Guitar Ensemble Competition\u201d in 2015 and 2016, respectively, cowriting classical guitar training books distributed in Thailand, serving as adjunct faculty at Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music, Bangkok, Thailand during 2015-2017.<\/p>\n
