An expert / person in your field that you admire

The truth is that there are no people that I admire or that I idolize, but as the teacher says, there are people that I respect very much for what they have done in their careers. One of those people is my saxophone teacher

Miguel Villafruela is an eminence in classical saxophone in Latin America and especially in Chile. He founded the saxophone chairs at the Universidad de Chile and the Universidad catolica de Chile, being a promoter of the classical saxophone in this country. He has played and taught in countless theaters and countries.


Thanks to this person I have grown a lot as an instrumentalist and he has been a great example to follow.

One of the things that I most appreciated about his teaching was to have a study routine and to be constant. At the beginning we clashed a lot because of our very different personalities, but I think that through the years we have understood each other better.

My Dream Job

Imagen
 Justo antes de terminar la escuela secundaria descubrí la lutería y desde ese momento se convirtió en el trabajo de mis sueños. Yo estudié en un bachillerato artístico donde estudié saxofón y cuando veía a la gente construyendo instrumentos con sus manos decía eso es para mí. Meses antes de salir del bachillerato estaba casi listo para irme a estudiar a Alemania pero para mi mala suerte hubo un cambio de rumbo en el bachillerato y todo quedó en nada, entonces rápidamente decidí ingresar a la Facultad de Artes de la Universidad de Chile, no fue una decisión muy difícil ya que era continuar con lo que venía estudiando. Aún tengo en mente estudiar luthería cuando salga de la universidad y me estoy preparando para eso, voy a un taller para aprender con un profesor y estoy tomando clases de alemán para poder lograr mi sueño. Mi idea es que cuando regrese a Chile sea formar mi taller y también formar la primera escuela formal de luthería del país. En cuanto al salario es una disciplina en l

Changes to My Study Programme

Imagen
 I have been studying my career for 8 years and I have not seen changes in the infrastructure or in the curriculum. The art faculty I think is the most precarious of all the university of chile I think that if it were not for the love of what I do I would have given up the career. As for the curriculum, I think that although it is fine in its bases, it is still outdated and lacks branches for what is the reality of the students at the time of graduation. As far as time is concerned, I think it is necessary, but I am concerned that we spend the whole career with the same instrument teacher, since there comes a point when we begin to learn from the teachers' mistakes. I think we should have at least two different teachers so that this does not happen. As for infrastructure I think that the distribution of funds in the university makes it impossible to make a big change since the funds for the faculty are very little. As for the subjects I think that there are none that are too many,

Time travel to the past or future

 I believe that if I were given the choice between traveling to the past or to the future, I would choose the past, I believe that every past time was better and that if I could travel to the past I could fix many things and avoid many mistakes. But above all I have always believed that I was not born in the right time, I have always thought that my time would have been the middle age or the 20's, something much simpler and happier for the little things. About the future I don't think I would like to know, because it would ruin the surprise, besides I wouldn't like to know about deaths or anything bad, it would be like a torture. I think I would like to live in those times of the past knowing what I already know and see what benefits or tragedies it would bring me. Maybe I could be treated as a witch or something like that or maybe I could become a millionaire, who knows? I know they say it's wrong to live in the past but living in a past that wasn't yours sounds pr
