Changes to my study program

 

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 The approach and vision that my career has, interpretation with mention in trumpet, is an outdated approach that has not been readapted to the current situation of music and the country.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 them taught me things and ways of seeing music that have helped me and help me a lot, coincidentally these teachers are younger.

The curriculum is very heavy in the last years, and in the first years there are very few subjects, in fact, in my first two years I only had two subjects and in my third year I had one more.

Despite all the good and the bad, I really enjoy the atmosphere that the students generate. You can feel the desire to grow and to help others grow. I have good classmates who I believe and hope will be my future colleagues.
