Why I chose to study music.

Hellou everybody.

We (in English class III) have to speak about or college preferences, something I already mentioned in the last post, so today I will tell you a little more about it. 

When I was young I started to playing guitar because I found it to be a great instrument. Everyone played it; rock singers, bossa nova music and specially in Inti Illimani folk music. I just wanted to play. When I was 15 years old, I entered to study classical guitar in the basic school program of the music conservatory of the Universidad de Chile, just for one year because I didn’t like the way of study. You may be thinking  “wait! Now you study there”, but then we will talk about it. Immediately after that I bought my first electric guitar.

When I graduated from school, I didn’t know what to study. I first try to study English Language and Literature at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, but I didn’t like my classmates. After I studied architecture for 3 years in the Universidad de Chile, and although I love it, I abandoned  it because of level of difficulty it was a lot, and did not see myself as an architect. However I never abandoned the guitar and the desire to make music.

That’s when I take the decision to study Music Theory, and while I don’t feel in line with any of the job opportunities that my career offers, I have acquired a lot of knowledge that serve to develop myself in different areas such as musica arrangements and some musicological studies. In fact during my stay in all these careers, I never stopped playing music with some bands that I had. Anyway, I like music. Me gusta el arrrrrte.
