About the blog

Hi!
I think that writte a blog is something funny, but I don't think that is one of my favorite activities. The part that I enjoy more is to read the blogs of my classmates, because I can know them better.
Something that I don't like about this is that we can't choose the theme of our own blog every day. I think that maybe it will be easier for everyone to writte about something that we know and we want to talk about it.

I think is a good excersise to practice the writting, but I think that maybe we need some grammar class or maybe a feedback, because sometimes when I read different blogs, I can find some mistakes that probably happens because we forget the grammar rules. It happens to me too (and maybe I'm having a lot of mistakes now), so I need it.

I don't know if I have some achievement on this activitie. I learnt some new words, but I think that is part of writte and use more language, so I dont' think that is an achievement.

I don't think the year is going so fast, I think that for the first time in many years finally we are having all our classes! I'm very happy for that. Maybe on this class we had some troubles, but en general the program is finally working (at least in the classes that I go).

Nerd

I believe that one of the subjects that I love to study is History of music, because the class are really funny and make me think a lot. We always are talking about the contemporary music and musicians. The focus in this semester is the music since XX century, and for that we made a familiar tree with our teacher and their teachers and etc. That was a really good excercise to know our own history. Now we are reading a book about musical interpretation in the history of the world and it is really usefull because it helps me to be a better performancer and musician. This book was wrote for differents musicians and other people relationed with the music, like teachers and psychologists and that make it feel that the advices and experiences are closer to us.

I really like this subject because the teachers (they are two) are amazing, the make me concient of the succes of the interpretation during the history and make me know how it change because of the social context and the type of instruments in every age.

Flower!

Hi everybody!
I think maybe one my favorites things in the life is taking pictures of beautiful flowers. In this photo you can see one of the most weird flowers I've ever seen. This summer I went to Frutillar with my ensamble of chamber music to participate in the CMMC in the Teatro del Lago. We had to walk to every rehearsal and when I was walking for the street and I saw by my side this amazing plant with this rare flower and her beauty made me feel lucky. Her form is really particular and that what make it very special to me.
I love this picture, because when I see it I can remember an excelent experience playing music with my friends in a beautiful place with amazing teachers.

But I don't know the name of this nice flower and I really want to know it, because I'll like to have it on my home, so if you know something about it, please tell me!

Salsa time

Hi!
Today I want to talk about something that I'mm doing every tuesday and thursday: dancing salsa!
I always wanted to do it, but I was scared and nervious because I didn't trust in myself, but one day when I was with a friend, he said "c'mon!! We can do it!" and since that tuesday I go every week just to dance and enjoy the moment with new people.

Is not only dance, there are class, so everytime I learn a new step. At the begining was too hard, because I didn't know the name of each step, but with the practice I learnt everyone of them and now I can follow the teacher in the class without troubles.

I go with some musicians friends and it results really well because we can follow the rythm in every song. Maybe we aren't amazing dancers, but we try to do the Best of ourselfs.

I think that was a really good idea decide to participate in this salsa class, because I have so much fun and I am knowing new people always.
If you want to try it, the class are in the alameda in the front of the GAM at 8:30 pm every tuesday and thursday and it only cost one 'luca'

Jackie

Jacqueline Du Pre is the best woman cellist that I know. She was born on January 26th, 1945, Oxford and she was married with the famous conductor Daniel Baremboim.

She has the most emotional and perfect version that I know of the Elgar's cello concerto and one of my favorites version of the Brahms 2nd cello sonata. She was too young to play as well as she did it, so was very famous because of her age and her talent.

Something sad about her life is that multiple sclerosis attacked her body, so she had to withdraw from the music at 28 years old.

When she played the Elgar's cello concerto with the London Symphony Orchestra, she did it in her  Stradivarius Davidov  powerfull cello (one of  the best cello that exist in the whole world) and now that instrument belongs to another big cellist: Yo-yo Ma

I admire her because she put a lot of passion in all the pieces she plays and in every intepretation she can touches my heart.

I dream everyday to play the cello with same passion that she.
