Changes to my study programme

I think really than the curriculum , along these years, has lost more than gained, by adding subjects to the curriculum the depth of certain key areas for the training of the “composer” has been weakening or at least he has lost a bit of the base and deepening that would be expected at the time of graduation.   I think that the study plan is a bit unbalanced, for the first years there are few subjects and in the last years it is very saturated, something that could be better distributed from the beginning of the study plan. In this way, the duration of the degree makes sense and is compensated, fully understanding (which a few years are not) but really due to the amount of concepts to assimilate and the amount of concepts to assimilate, together with the techniques and learning processes , require a good time to be effective over time, especially for a comprehensive musical training.   I think that one of the worst things is the infrastructure of the faculty, that mo...

Time Travel to the past or future

How many things come to my mind when I think about the past or the future... It is very difficult for me decide about it, exist to much places/moments what I would like to know. One of the obstacles it the not see what I expect and discourage me. However, in my very crazy things, I really like to travel to the future... I don’t know: 25, 50 or 100 year on the future... It is really interesting think about what will life be like in that period of time, exist really a technological development? Will we really move forward as a society?

But I think that when I think like that I already sound like them… Ha ha ha And being a bit idealistic, I really like to see that everything has at least s...

My dream job

  It makes me curious how hard it makes me think about this, principally because the next year I should be finishing my studies. However, I will try to think this topic. I think that a first idea what comes to mind is the teaching, I do not know really at University, at school or regardless. I really like teaching, I do not know if I really have the capacity, but I like the idea of teach, to transmit what I know, what I have been learning. What’s more, I really like to conduct chorus, it is a beautiful experience and allows you to create music in a group, in a community. I need to all what I have learned so far, in the case of the teaching it will depend of what I focus on teaching. In the case of the conduct, I need learn a little more about the subject, about how to conduct a musical group. I really like to travel, and I hope that I can make my work move me to know different places, presenting either my music, teaching or conducts to musical chorus/ensemble. I have not ...
