Hi classmates,
First of all, I want to say that the subject of English, for me, has been a bit overwhelming since it complicated my class schedules a bit, but anyway, the course is about to end.
In general, it seems to me that adding the subject of English at a general level in the university is a great step forward for what the world needs today. At least in my experience, English classes seem to me to be a good opportunity to learn with very good teachers.
One of the things that I do not like about the subject is its way of acting in front of the student mobilizations, since these events are not respected, this is because English in our university is a general platform, in the same way this does not It should be like that.
The blogs we do every week are very useful to apply the knowledge learned during the classes and also to know our colleagues through what they write.
It is one of the best tools that the English subject has, since it is a very progressive process, which goes from less to more, that is what I like most about blogs.
English for me has always cost me more to practice it and put it into practice at the moment of speaking than to understand a text or conversation. For this, what I think I need to have a more correct English, is to speak more in this language, not only in classes but at all times.
To be realistic, there are very few times I practice English outside of school hours, which is something I do or should improve. My practice of English outside the classroom, is limited to reading some small texts in English about the career I study, because for that, there is much material on Internet.
That's all. Bye!

POST 9 >> CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME
One of the changes that I have always had in mind for the Theory of Music career, is that all subjects are given the same importance, in terms of califications and academic load. In this way, other interests could be evidenced in the students and guide them towards other professional opportunities.
As for the curriculum, I have 7 or 8 subjects per semester, I currently have 7, they are: Musical Language, Keyboard Workshop, Music-culture and society, Polyphony, Vocal Workshop, Guitar Workshop and English. These subjects all correspond to the semester number 4 of the career.
Normally the workload is quite heavy, it includes a lot of work and concentration at a theoretical and practical level. The duration of the complete career is 12 semesters, 8 semesters of degree and 4 professional specialization (choral director or Professor specialized in general theory of music). Many of the students who enter the program, only decide to finish with the degree, it is under the percentage that specializes.
As for the faculty where we study, I think it is a building with few possibilities to share with the other students of the other programs, we only have a small terrace of a few meters as a resting place. I think our building needs remodeling, in some places it looks very damaged by the passage of time and lacks more modern and technological resources like those in other faculties of the university.
Actually, the use of technology in our faculty is only used in the library, which does not mean that it is a modern library, but in that place a good use of computers, Internet access, etc. is made.
Finally, from my point of view, the teaching method that is used in our career is to transmit knowledge inherited many years ago. Typical teaching of what was the old music conservatory.
Despite all this, it is an excellent place to study music.

POST 8 >> SUMMER PLANS
I want the holidays to arrive quickly ...
The semester at the university has been a bit strange and long, so I'm tired, I do not want more.
I have in mind to work in January in some common job, and then in February to play in several concerts that are already scheduled.
This summer I will love visiting Concepción or La Serena, they are places that I love because they are a little less hostile than Santiago and the people are more friendly and nice.
The truth is that I would like to spend all the time on vacation with my family in my native Curicó, but there are responsibilities that I can not fail to fulfill here in Santiago, although in reality I will be traveling very often to visit my family. On the other hand, I would like to spend quality time with my friends, since in the year, there are few instances where we can share in a good way and not to setbacks.
As I said at the beginning of the publication, I plan to work and participate in concerts, either as a musician or as a public. Although in reality, I have to evaluate very well the possibility of working since the semester, apparently it will end very late and it will be a heavy semester end. I am hoping to have clarity of this aspect to make a real decision about what I will do in my vacation and with whom I will spend it, it is terrible haha.
