English Language Challenges

My experience learning English at University was a very good experience, because I discovered that it's necessary return the practice and keep on learning more about English, and it's an opportunity to keep practicing week to week.

The blogs is a good idea so we can practice and learn more vocabulary of different things, I think that this is very important because when I have to use English many times in the music context, and with the blogs I have to write about different topics, this way thinking in English is more natural and I have learnt more vocabulary that usually I don't use.

I think that I have to continue improveing in more aspects, especially speaking, because not always there are the opportunity to speak in English with others, and create a dialogue, but at the last time, especially in my career, is more necessary to learn English, for example the Masterclass or some rehearsal the teacher or the conductor spoke in English.

And this motivates me to improve, and try to read more texts in English, and try to think more in English, and not leave the practice.

Outside the class, I use English in a musical context, for example this year I have a masterclass with a Cellist Andres Diaz, and the masterclass was completely in English, and it was a very good experience because in a masterclass you always have to think fast, to be able to do the Indications or corrections that the teacher does in the way to play cello, and in this case thinking and speaking in English was a good challenge and fortunately I felt comfortable and was a good class, with this experience I discovered the necessary to know more language, because this way I can go to more masterclasses or courses to continue learning and improve as a musician, and to be able to communicate with other people not only in the musical context.

Some changes that could be made to my study programme

My career is Musical Interpretation, and it's a particular career, because many people don't know about this career, and in many cases they don't imagine that this career has two stages, The conservatory stage and the Superior Stage, for this reason my career is very long.

For this reason some changes that I'll do, could be create a new stage, paralllel to The conservatory stage, Something like a bachelor, thougth for the people that leave of 4° of secondary, and have a good level in their instrument but need a some years to be promoted to Superior, this way at the bachelor the student could have the necessary theoretical subjects,and passing to Superior could be more organized.
And this way the curriculum, would be more balanced among the stages of the career. The program this year changed and it's important that the new student knows about these changes that are implementing this year.

As to the building of my faculty, I think that the biggest problem, is that in some time it's so difficult to find a study room. It's necessary to have more rooms. 

I think that another aspect to be improved, is the Interaction between different careers, for example in this Faculty, there is Dance, Singing, or Sound, and could be interesting to make different activities that interact with the interpretation career, for example make an Opera, a Ballet, and recording this performance.

I think that always there will be things to improve, and it is importat  always search the upgrade of the way to do the things, because the musical career is very influenced of what happens in Europe and in many cases, not always, It is posible to have this information, for example the new way of interpretation, new techinques, and I think that this is an important point, to create more connections with the other countries, and in this way bring near what often seems distant.
