 If it were up to me, I would be an eternal student. But adult life demands a lot from me and in that respect money is paramount (unfortunately).  My postgraduate or master's degree options so far are: Musictherapy. Art history. Complementary pedagogies (waldorf, montesorri, pikler, etc). These options are intended to complement my musical studies. In this way I can acquire a comprehensive perspective of this wonderful discipline. However, I must confess that I have not done enough research to decide in which institution, how I would finance it, and at what point in my life I am going to do it.  Below I will briefly justify each option.   Art history: I am very interested in knowing the development and evolution of each artistic discipline. Along the same lines, understanding how historical social changes affect the development of styles, evolution of new genres and artistic currents.There is a great detail in this option. It turns out that most programs of study are focused on th

 I am not very sure about my dream job as a child. I think it was common to be a veterinarian, explorer, doctor, among others. Once I grew up I had a clear idea of the "field" in which I wanted to follow my professional path and this would be something humanistic or artistic. My school and high school education contributed to the realization of those "dreams or goals". I am currently in my last semester of my bachelor's degree in music and have had some instances of work experience.These include music therapy, music teaching (both aimed at children) and choral conducting. I do not close myself to any possibility since, working in art in this country requires more than one work approach, in order to complement the professional experience and of course, the salary. If I had to mention a personal project, a long-term goal would be to move to the south, specifically to Valdivia, and work as a teacher in schools or academies and complement it with the field of choral

The last concert I attended was one of the best. This is the the closing of the campaign in favor of "approval" for the last national plebiscite. It was held on September 1 of this year between Alameda and Santa Rosa streets, a few steps from Cerro Huelen. I have to mention that it was my birthday that day and listening to live music for free was the best gift. The artists I heard at that concert were: Ana Tijoux , Ceaese, Aly Mayely, Catanna, Francisca Valenzuela, Inti illimani, Quilapayun, Illapu, Santa Feria and Los Vasquez. I could also see a lot of actors and comedians on stage. The show lasted more than 5 hours and was attended by more than 500 thousand people. The atmosphere that was formed was a family environment, a lot of youth, celebration, fun, hope and excitement for a new change. I was in the company of my closest friends and we also met new people during the event. I felt full, happy and excited. I enjoyed each artist who went on stage. For me, feeling the crow

In this post I will talk about my dream trips and I will explain what my motivations are for traveling to these places. First of all, I would like to mention that i´m more interested in know every corner of Chile before knowing another country. In my short life, i´ve been able to visit part of the south of Chile, especifically, the region of Araucanía, Valdivia, Lota and Paredones. I have also traveled to the beaches of our central coast. I loved each of these places and I hope to continue knowing the different regions, cities and towns of Chile. Fuerte de Niebla- Valdivia My motivation is to discover the history and evolution of each locality, the specific characteristics of its native species ( flora and fauna) and know the diferents customs and cultures we surround ourselves with. However, if I had the opportunity to travel outside of Chile, I would start with Latin American countries like Argentina, Perú, Uruguay, Cuba and México.  Día de muertos - México. My motivation would be, o

My favorite food is humitas. To cook them it is necessary: -Corn. -Basil -Onions -Garlic  -Pepper -Salt -Chili color Preparation: -Peel the corn and reserve the large leaves. -Grind the corn kernels together with the basil. -Cut the onion and garlic into cubes, in a frying pan, add oil and sauté the onion, cook until the onion is transparent, add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat. -Mix the ground corn with the onion. -Add a few scoop of the mixture to the corn husks and fold into a packet.  -Tie with a thread. -Cook in boiling water for 30 minutes. -Strain and eat.  I like corn in all its forms, but in humita is the best. I consider it a healthy, vegetarian, nutritious and ancestral food. This photo is from summer, sorry i don't like tomatoes.
