Current Academic Challenges

Since last year I started with the online modality, in my career has brought many challenges. For example in subjects that are practical such as instrument, orchestra and camera music. The online mode has been difficult as the sound is obviusly not as clear as it is in reality. So teachers have implemented different ways of teaching the class, for example only teach theoretical things at class time and at another time send a video of yourself playing your instrument. 




In a way it is clearer to send a video to get a better sound, however it has been more difficult for me because I want the video to be perfect. Then for any failure I start recording again. 

The truth is that the theoretical subjects have not been difficult for me to understand. Only sometimes there are certain obstacles, like the internet connection is not always stable.



One of the things I enjoy the most is that I am at home and never lack food and I'm always with my family. Having face to face classes is difficult for me because I have to travel every day from San Antonio to Santiago at the university.  Although I prefer to have face to face classes, because I think I understand better and it is eassier for me for the practical classes.

I will be starting some in person classes soon and I am very excited about it!

    Hi Maite! I think the same, It´s hard to find a perfect sound in a recording.

Postgraduates Studies

Imagen
  The truth is that I have only thought at some point about the possibility of doing a postgraduate course and continue studying related to my career.  In the postgraduate studies is an educational level that is part of the higher level with the purpose of promoting research activities and the updating of university contents, in addition to the specialization of knowledge. It has as a mandatory antecedent the undergraduate studies, and can only be accessed after obtaining the degree. I had never inquired further about postgraduate studies, there are many things to consider.  If I did a postgraduate course, I would like to do it at the same university. I would learn many new things and then I could apply them in other countries.  From what I have found out, the cost of postgraduate studies is very high, so it is necessary to take the price into cosideration before studying.  It would also be an option to go to do a postgraduate course in a European country, but t...

My dream job

Imagen
  When I was a child I liked to play with my cousins as if I was the teacher. I remember I had a small whiteboard, and from there I liked to teach them different subjects.  So for me it was like a dream to be a teacher when I grew up. I liked the idea of working with children, being able to teach new things to see the progress of each child, among other things.  Years have passed, different things caught my attention. For example music. I was introduced to the bassoon and I really loved it. I started to learn more about this wonderful instrument. And finally I decided to study a career related to music, specifically the bassoon. Although I could also relate what I study to my dream of teaching. I would love to teach bassoon in the future. And then my dream would come true.  I like all the jobs where you can see progress in people. Like teachers teaching and health professionals seeing the patient recovering. I really admire the work of doctors, nurses, kinesiologists...

Subject that I enjoy

 Hello everybody! Today I´m going to talk about a subject that I enjoy in my career this semester. I think that my favorite subject is "Música de cámara". I find this subject very interesting and fun to learn different things about music.  "Música de cámara" is composed for a reduced group of instruments, in comparison to orchestral music. I really liked it because in the classes he teaches me to analyze the musical parts before interpreting. I think it´s very important to know all the details and musical instructions of what you are going to perform. This semester I had the opportunity to see Mozart´s "Divertimento no. 1 KV 439b B major" for two clarinets and bassoon.  The first thing we did was to analyze the musical part in detail. Identifying degrees, phrases, dynamics and many other things. After understanding the analysis correctly we can interpret the musical part with our instruments, the teacher says that with this way it´s more easy to play with ...
