Changes to my study program

Imagen
  This is my 7th year studying and I think there are many things to change. The approach and vision that my career has, interpretation with mention in trumpet, is an outdated approach that has not been readapted to the current situation of music and the country. There are professors who really are a disappointment, they miss classes without warning, they invent things to validate their own theories (this seems horrible to me), they have no sense of teaching and they advance without really teaching. It's as if they just give you the information and you have to learn how to use it. It would be good if teachers would adapt more to the current needs and teach more useful things for the independent musician of Chile 2020. Teaching how to use recording software, digital music writing, how to play according to acoustics, more modern repertoire, Chilean repertoire and a list of things that need to be updated. I must say that the teachers of the first years were very good, some of the...

Time travel to the past or future

The thought of time travel fascinates me a lot. Whenever I am asked about a superpower I would like to have, it would be to control time. I am very curious to know what the future will be like and also what the future will be like after the future.  If I were to travel to the future it would be to some time where you can travel to the moon as a normal thing. I would also see the winners of tournaments and some series finals that don't exist yet, since the intrigue doesn't leave me alone. Finally in the future I would look for my self and ask him only if what he has lived has been entertaining. A yes or no is enough for me. If I traveled to the past I would first go to meet historical figures like Einstein, Cristobal Colon, etc. and I would try to have a chat, in the hypothetical case that language barriers do not exist. I would talk to musicians that I like very much like Tchaikovsky, Bach, Paul desmond and I would show them current music to ask their opinion. I would also go t...

My Dream Job

Imagen
Since I was a kid, in fact, for as long as I can remember I have always played video games. With my older brother we grew up playing and in a way we competed. I've always liked video games because it's an access to other worlds and realities, different characters, stories, rules, etc. And an important aspect in them is the music. This represents to a great extent the atmosphere and feeling that will generate in the player and I am very curious about how music can change or enhance the atmosphere in a given situation. When I grew up I started to know the world of music through singing and playing instruments until I got to the trumpet and with it I learned everything I know about music both interpretatively and when composing or arranging. With these two aspects of my life is compossed one of my dream jobs is to be a composer for a famous video game. Games like "Final Fantasy IX", "The last of us" or the "Pokemon" sagas, especially "Pokemon E...
