POST 5: CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Imagen
  I am studying musical performance with a mention in classical guitar at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Chile. It is a long career, lasting 9 years in total, 5 basic years and 4 advanced years. The courses we have are consistent with what we are studying, such as history of music, history of art, chamber music, harmony, music theory, chamber music, musical project. The place where it is located is hostile and the infrastructure is precarious, the elevators usually have faults, there is no casino, the rooms have leaks, the electrical system is obsolete but despite all that there are very good teachers. What would I change in the program? I would like there to be more interdisciplinary courses among the courses that we are in at the faculty, such as linking sound with interpretation, creating projects together, recording, teaching us what microphones to use for each instrument, that we had training in knowing acoustics and room resonance. . I also spent time with composers, pl

TIME TRAVEL TO THE PAST OR FUTURE

Both the future and the past are places where I would like to travel. First I would travel to the past, I would choose the past, before the arrival of the Spanish to learn about the culture and worldview of the Mapuches and other ethnic groups that inhabited Chile, understand their social relationships, their language, the relationship they had with nature, the stars, learn about the myths and legends that existed in Chile before the arrival of Columbus's caravels with their religion imposed with death and slavery, before Christian morality, before the "guilt system." I would like to understand your philosophy and way of understanding the world.   On the other hand, I would like to go to the future to answer questions like will cars fly? Will there be dog translators? Will reggaeton still exist? What fashions will exist?   What is happening with global warming?   Perhaps in 3023 the world will be like in the book "1984" and Orwell was right, perhaps

MY DREAM JOB

Imagen
 First of all, in my dreams I don't work hahaha but if I had to talk about a job that I would like to do it would surely be being a guitar teacher in some “popular school” or some cultural center. Teach to read music, write, make adaptations and develop skills so that they can play the repertoire that they like the most. I would also like to take a course in musical adaptations to make adaptations of folkloric music in order to contribute to the preservation of memory, reversing songs by Víctor Jara, Violeta Parra for example. But I'm still willing to change and I know that the twists and turns of life bring many surprises. I may not be clear about the job of my dreams, but I am clear about the type of job I would not like, I would not like to work in an office, nor would I like to be exploited by a boss who does not value my work. In conclusion, my dream job will be anything that is in line with my values and my thoughts.
