 The English Today I will talk about my relationship with this language: English. This is a quite interesting topic, because I love English. Personally speaking when I went to High School I hate it english and I didn’t learn anything. The teacher didn’t have interest in teaching us and he only wrote something on the board every class and he waited for the class to copy and translate it. It was horrible, and basically I lost every single desire to learn. But, something happened… When I got older, I’m talking about when I was 24 or 25 years old, I began to wrap my head around learning the language, because I never lost interest in learning it. I bought a self-study book, with audios and grammar in English-Spanish, and took some personal classes with personal teachers. After that, I started a relationship with my current wife, Zerma from The Philippines and she started to teach me a lot. Apart from grammar and rules, she taught me how to pronounce words in American accent, and she mad...

  Beyond a bachelor’s degree Okay, today I’m going to talk about postgraduate studies. First of all, this is a matter that I have been thinking for a lot time, and of course it is something huge, so important that it will have importance and relevance in my life. Currently I’m in my 6th year of my major, and the total duration of it is 7 years. It means that next year I will finish it and I have to decide if I will study my postgraduate immediately or not. As I have said before, my main plan is to make my academy grow, to find a physical space for it and  have different teachers available with a variety of instruments, ‘cause today I have 4 teachers for Piano only. It is because I have not enough time to dedicate to this company, and if I want it to grow, it would include a lot of work, not only teaching.  Okay, If I would have to study my postgraduate degree as soon as possible, I would choose Piano or Conducting. Why those areas? In the case of Piano, it is because I wi...

As a child When I was a kid, I always had one dream: To be an astronomer. This is very similar to you, teacher, but in my case I wanted to search into the night sky. I was enchanted with the huge universe, and all that it includes: The galaxies, the stars, the constellations, black holes, the sun and moon, and how so amazing and infinite space can be, it is so interesting to me, and how a little person I can be in the midst of a great and huge universe. It was my dream, I think, until I was 14 years old. Parallel to that, began to develop a special taste for the piano music, and here is when I start to speak a little bit about my second dream job.  I grew up, and when I was around 12 years old I discovered the piano music, and immediately I started to look for an academy o school of music. I found LEA (Liceo Experimental Artístico) and began to study classical piano music. From that moment on, I never change my mind because the world and universe that I was looking for, all of it w...
