The experience of write a blog was very nice for me! In my particular case, I have very difficulty to learn english, speaking and also write. It helped me to improve my skills and learn from my colleagues when reading their blogs. I learned words and grammar (however I should improve more hahahh). Maybe in the future they could add a section when where it's free matter. In the musical world is very important learn english because all important information is in english. The best orchestras and musicians in the world are from all over the world, so we should have a language in common. Asians, chileans, germans, russians, argentinians, frenchs, etc.  Also is necessary in watching masterclass videos in internet and meet new people in the world. I hope to continue improving and learn much more!! Maybe if I read books of my interest, but in other language, I would force my self to learn any language. In this last post I would like say that the blog was a good exercise for me and a way...

My favorite place for relax me and that I enjoy too much is Frutillar. The first time that I went to this place was with my father and my brother when I was 10 years old: I loved it! I am from northern Chile and there are no lakes and or so many trees, but it was cold, so I relaxed a lot! Then, I come back with the Classical Orchestra of the North Catholic University for play in Teatro del Lago de Frutillar when I was 12 years old. I knew the theatre and Kuchenladen! There I eat the best kuchen and chocolate cake of the world. Since that moment I love Frutillar, this place is quite quiet and magic with the lake and breeze. Then I return in January of all years to play with the Symphonic Youth Orchestra of Chile in the theatre since 2015 and always I enjoy be there! I played much pieces of classical music and I have friends that living there, so I can go always! I would like know others places in the south as Valdivia, Punta Arenas, Puerto Williams and Torres del Paine ...

My major is musical so my favorite subjects are where I learn a lot of music. One of the subject that I love this year is Seminario de Historia de la Música. The teacher of this subjct e is Victor and is very wise and connoisseur of many matters! Here I learn many matters like: history of Universidad de Chile, theatres, history of music, history of humanity, Europe, Chile, radios, recordings, instruments, religion and inclusive he made us investigate about ourselves and our teachers. I  have not finished this subject yet because it is annual so there is still a lot to learn. The test are written essays and we give presentations about them. Every matter that we discuss is very interesting and without a doubt whatsoever is one of my favorite subjects. Seminario de la Historia de la Música is the second part of Historia de la Música. The first part was terrible for me!   I did't like the teacher and we make essays of 15 pages! I was't motivated and I had lost interest...

One of my career related website favourite is the web site of Berliner Philharmoniker: Digital Concert Hall. This website is about the Berliner Philharmoniker Orchestra, this orchestra is considerate by many as the best orchestra in the world. In this website there is videos, images, new about news concerts, and more. If you have watch videos in this website, you should be subscribed and pay every months or year. I think Is incredible that we can watch all videos is this orchestra with the good sound and they playing many music!! When I was member of Symphonic Youth Orchestra of Chile I have access to this website and I visited it twice in the week. At the present time I not be member so sometimes I use the login of a friend for watch this videos. I like it because I listen to the best conductors and musician in the world playing my favourite music and new music! It is a benefit and all should have access to this.               ...

It is difficult to write about my favorite band, singer or composer, since I listen to a lot of music of all kinds. Rap, rock, metal, classical music, pop, salsa, ska, reggaeton, funk, techno music,   etc. But if I had to stay with a band, it would be Chancho en piedra. I have good memories of this band because from here my love for the guitar is born and I had my first musical influences when I was 10 years old. My mom gave me a DVD called "Chancho 6" where they gave a live concert at the Victor Jara Stadium in 2003, in Santiago. I loved the energy they transmitted and the costumes they used to give the concert more spectacle. I loved his funk style and decided to listen to all his albums from the first to the last. I was impressed that in each album they drew their style varied a little more. Today his style is very far compared to the style of its beginning, since it is a little more pop and deeper lyrics (and it is understood, they are older and do not ...

The picture shows the first time that I could keep the balance in Slackline in 2014! I was happy because is very difficult do it. It was in Parque de los Reyes in Santiago and this day was very fun! I went with my friends and Ariel took this picture with his camera canon in the precise moment. I was many times trying keep the balance using the form “buda” and is hard because hurt the legs and is necessary much patience. My slackline had 20 meters of largue and it was purple. One day, trying dangerous maneuvers I fell and my hands were damaged. I could not play violoncello in 2 week L so I decided sell my slackline and rest this sport. I like very much this sport and there are slacklines for all ages y many color. Maybe I will come back to this sport some day!

Romi, my pets! I have never liked pets, however I had a dog when I was younger in my home in Antofagasta. When I moved to Santiago, I rescued a female cat who was crying under the rain and took her to my house. She was a “roman cat” and from that moment she was my favorite pet. She was very tender and very playful. I live in apartment and I felt it was not a good space for my cat, so I left the door open for her to play outside but she never wanted to do it. I brought a male cat so she would have someone to play with when I was not around and they built a nice friendship. One day at dawn I found her dead in my apartment and I never knew the real reason for her death, but I cried a lot. Since then, I have not had another pet. (sad ending L )
