Changes to my study programme

Hello everyone! 

When I saw the topic for this post, automatically I said: "everything" 馃槀

I love my career, but for me, the studies program needs many things to change: I think that we need more subjects related to music practice, body education for everyone, cultural management, etc. Specifically, in the piano studies program, I would like to have an early keyboards subject, or something similar to know and play other types of keyboards, like the organ, harpsichord, fortepiano, etc: the piano is not the only instrument with a keyboard!  

About the infrastructure, I'm sure that I can write a text with many words about that 馃槀 with the pandemic situation I forgot all problems: the elevator, the noise in the study rooms, casino, broken chairs, the instruments... 

We have no good pianos at the Faculty 馃槩 is very sad because you can not listen to the "real" sound of the piano or discovering different color sounds. But the worst thing is that the keys are not working in 99% of the piano at the Faculty. Is very sad, but we can use the imagination...

At home, I just have a wall piano so I miss very much the other pianos.

I  wish for a really good piano, but now I just wish to play any grand piano and practicing with other people.  

Thanks for your time!

Caruso: my four-legged friend

 Hello, pet lovers! 

Today I'm going to talk about my lovely pet: Carusso. 

In my family, we have always had a little dachshund puppy (like a hot dog puppy) and they always have named him Carusso.

Caruso I was bought in a dog kennel, but he died very soon -just two or three months after we got him- because he was born ill. 馃槳 Caruso II, had a long life! He lived 14 years old. Honestly, he was very grouchy and he scared me when I was a girl because he didn't like to be touched. Caruso III is my pet currently 馃挀 he is 4 years old and is so so so lovely!! He is like cotton candy. 馃槏

Caruso I, my brother and me

My mother bought him at a private house in 2016. We checked a lot of places for finding a dachshund puppy: my family loved these puppies and they didn't want to change their minds.  

Caruso III is my four-legged friend, I love him and he loves me Jajaja is very playful and looks very happy every day. For me, he is happiness transformed into a dog! Since I have memory, I remember having a little dachshund puppy as a pet.  

My wish is to always have a dachshund puppy and naming him Caruso. 


Thanks for your time, bye!

Free play: A book you should read once in your life

 Hi there! 

I was remembering a book that I really loved when I started to study music, and I look back on a beautiful one: Free Play: Improvisation in Life and Art, by Stephen Nachmanovitch (1950- )

I knew this book as a result of a gift from a very dear friend when I was a teenager. Since the first reading, I really loved this friendly book: I felt identified with some chapters and I found the sense or the meaning of some things about music and life. I think that maybe the profession of the author, musical performance, influenced a lot in my experience with this book. 

Generally speaking, the book is about music reflections and how we create and improvise always in life in general. Some chapters are: 'Inspirations and Time's Flow', 'Mind at play', 'Disappearing' 'Eros and Creation'...etc. Is difficult to say what this book is about, because for me is like about " THE LIFE" 馃槅馃槀 this book has provoked a lot of questions and reflections in me, one chapter is enough to realease our imagination and creativity. 

I recommend it because for me it was very beautiful experience to read, and maybe also it will be to you! The most beatiful is that is not just about music, is about: how  music lives in our life, how we live the music, and how music exists in our lives.
