  I think that this year has been rough, first, because of the university problems, the strikes, our country´s social issues and finally the pandemic situation, we had to face very serious problems and our learning was harmed. Since the last year, I started online classes, at the beginning this was not a problem because I had only 2 subjects, flute classes and complementary piano, I had a lot of time to study and I didn´t have to travel to Santiago, this was not so bad because I spend a lot of time traveling. I enjoyed playing in the comfort of my house and not having to be worried to leave on time. 2021 has been a little more agitated, because now I´m having eight subjects, and sometimes the internet is not so good, now I have new subjects like Symphonic Orchestra or chamber music, in these ones I get to play with other musicians, I personally think that online practices lose the sense of making music. Others subjects like Harmony or Music History aren´t a problem, these ki...

  When I was a child, I painted all day. I always saw a famous paintings and I was amazed with the beauty, I said “when I be older, I want to be a painter and travel around the world”, when I was young, I wanted to go to an academy to learned to draw and paint, but the schedule coincides whit the schedule of my lessons of flute in this time.

When I was in the middle stage, I started to be interested in the periods of the earth, in the natural formations, in the types of animals that before lived in the earth, in the difference between volcanoes and other related topics. I saw around me and asked myself these types of questions. In this period, I thought to be geology, work outdoors in the nature, caught my attention. Now I’m loved of the music area, I´m studying musical interpretation, measurement in flute, thanks to this I traveled and knew different places, I reall...

    I would like to talk about the importance of the technology in my profession, especially in pandemic time.   When I started whit online classes, I started using other kinds of technology for example the camera, pc and tablet. I think that the most useful is the pc, because I have all my classes trough them, and also I can find all the information that I require for my classes. When I record myself playing the flute for diferent subjects of the career, such as Symphony Orchestra or the subject Chamber Music, I prefer to use a professional camera instead of using a smartphone camera, it´s mainly because it has better quality of audio and video. Sometimes when I can´t print a sheet music, I prefer to read them on my sister´s tablet. I think that my favorite piece of technology is the smartphone. I can use the smartphone for a lot of things such as: study and doing my home work, use applications like YouTube for more detailed study, use a tuner and metronome for...
