Postgraduate studies

In the future I'd like take a course of Conducting, because I like it so much and it's interesting for me to discover how an orchestra works, to be able to give the orchestra all this energy so they can play together, and can play what the composer really wanted in his works.

The subject that I'd like to study, and I think that are very important for the conducting are, first Solfege, I think this is very important, because, with the practice of solfege, people develop the skill of can sigth reading any music sheet, and the comprehension of the intervals.

Another subject that I think that is very important is Harmony, because this allows the comprehension of the chords and the importance of each note of this chord, this way I can know which note should sound more than another with the objective of a correct balance.

And it's important to know more history, because this helps to take the correct decisions, and can know what the composer wanted to write and express, and it's important to know as much as it could be possible from the style of the instruments that were played in the past.

Analysis is very important too, to know the form, the structure and know the direction of the prhases.

And among other subjects is the develpment of the "art of the gesture", it's important that it is as clear as it can be for the orchestra, and at the same time, it can express and connect with each member of the orchestra.

I'd like study in Europe, if it's possible in Germany, and for this I have to study a lot every day, because I think that to be a good conductor, you have to be a good instrumentalist, And I'd like continue learning cello too.

My future job


The job that I dream, is at the orchestra world, I like so much playing at the orchestra, for this reason I  hope to have the opportunity to work playing at a professional orchestra, and I would like to specialize at the conducting orchestra. For me conducting is very fascinanting, is a way to discover each voice at the orchestra and it's very important to imagine the sound in the mind of each instrument and how it has to sound together.

Outdoor or indoors, is a good question, because there are differents stages, in differents places and some are outdoor, and in this points I have mixed feelings because playing cello outdoors, isn't good for the cello, for the humidity, the temperature and other factors could be affect my cello. But there are stages that are very confortable to play outdoor, Always I remember, when with the National Young Orchestra we have played the 6° Symphony of Beethoven, " Pastoral" at the "Quinta Vergara" and at the Storm movement of the symphony, it start to rain, fortunately our instruments didn't get wet.

I like traveling so much, and with the orchestra I have the oppotunity to go to different places, and this is a thing that I like and enjoy of the music, that is the music lets me travel and know different people and places, and the music always gives the hope of meeting them again.

The salary at the professional orchestra is good, also I would like teach, cello and conducting, because I think that is very important, transmit the knowledge to the future generations.

MUSIC

Music is more important for me, is present in every day at different things that I do.

I like differents styles of music specially rock, and metal progresive, and style that name Shred guitar, that is virtuoso lead guitar solo playing style for the guitar,some guitarists of this style are Steve Vai, Jason Becker, Kiko loureiro among others.

And I like too music of Romanticism era of music, with composer like Brahms.

I enjoy a lot listen music, especially when I travel, because is a quiet moment, I like to discover new music and when this happen, I like to play this music and learn new songs, for this reason I prefer play music that listening, becouse is a way of give life to music.

A band that I like so much is Dream Teather, that is a band of progressive metal, and I like this band becouse they explore the full potencial of this instruments

And a composer that I like is a Brahms especially his Sympohony Nº 3 and Nº4, I like to study the score of this symphony for lear more about this music and how Brhams composed and used the orchestra.

The music is more important in my life because how I said is present every day, and when I discover a new musician, I like to read about the history and the context of this musician, so this way I can have more ideas at the time to play, and play music I have learn every day new things, and this is inspiring to improve.
