Music = my life :)

Hello everyone!

I'm going to talk about the most important thing in my life: the music. For me, the music means all, that is a way of life, way of thinking, way of feeling, etc.

When I was a child, I lived with my grandparents. My grandfather had a "cumbia band" (he has even this), and I listened when they practiced. My uncle played drumms in this band, and he maked a drumm for me with tins and wood boxes (I liked playing it). That was my first approximation with music... Besides, my uncle showed me songs by Silvio Rodriguez. For this reason, I like very much his music! I think he is one of my favorite popular musicians... I grew up with music around me. For example, at 18th september, my family improvises a "fonda" for us, and we play cuecas and very known songs (for example, "puerto montt", songs by Buddy Richard, Pollo Fuentes. I don't like this music, but all in my family know ther songs).

After, when I was 10 years old, I started to lernning cello in a conservatory of my city (La Ligua). I remember that the cello was bigger than me xD that was very funny when I walked with the cello in my back, because that liked a cello with legs haha. In this year, I knew Apocalyptica. It's a metal band, and the members are 4 cellist. The music is very good. They have covers of songs by Metallica, for example ...
However, I was very happy when I played this instrument. I practiced every day, 2 or 3 hours per day. I was lerning very fast; I could play in one year my first cello solo in the orchestra of the conservatory. That was an unforgettable experience for me. Since this first experience, I like play in concerts, in orchestras, in ensambles, solos, etc... After that, wehn I practiced, I liked improvise, and one day, I decided my writing my improvisation. That was my first composition. Some time later, I started to study composition with my cello's teacher (he was a composer too), because I liked writing music... For those reasons, I decided to studying composition, and I think I'm one of the happier persons of the world, because I do what makes me happy (as a clam :)).
