BLOG 3 - My dream job

Since I was a child, the space and the stars were a big attraction to me, but unlike other kids I did not wanted to be an astronaut, I wanted to be an Astronomer, I wanted to observe the stars and the planets and make amazing discovering on them. My dream was to work at the ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter Array). I never had a telescope but I used to have a logbook where I write all the things I observe in the night.

But as I grew up I lost interest in the space and I started gaining more interest in music, since I had a memory I always played the piano and the guitar, and when I was 14 my parents sign me up in an artistic school to potentiate my musical abilities. There I learned the piano and the drums, I even used to have a band in school and we played in various places, and finally in the composition classes in school I felt in love with music and the creative process of creating music.

After school I started a major in composition in the University of Chile and I hope to work in something related to that field, I would love to work in the field of film scoring, or as a composer in commissions to big orchestras around the world. I would love to live creating music and having people that is interested in listening to it.

So this is my dream job.

In the first year of composition we have 3 or 4 different classes, and in the fourth year we have 8 or 9 different classes. Fourth and fifth year are the more difficult because of the academic charge. Also a lot of the classes are necessary to be taken earlier, like didactics, because a lot of us make a living doing particular classes. Other big problem the university have is the infrastructure, the faculty i

BLOG 1 - A Country/Place I Would Like/Love To Visit

A place i would love to visit is the whole country of France, mostly because I'm really interested in their culture, with very rich architecture and gastronomy. I would love to visit their museums, Le Louvre, Le Petit et Le Grand Palais, Le Musée d'Orsay, Le Centre Cultural Pompidou etc. because they have some of the biggest collection on ancient and modern art in the world, works from Da Vinci, Manet, Basquiat, Gauguin, and many other I would love to see. I wold also love to walk the streets of Paris to see the Haussmann architecture and city design, that is so characteristic of the city. I'm also interested in the northern cities of France, I would love to visit Strasbourg, Metz, Calais, Amiens. Very ancient and beautiful cities with beautiful architecture.
