Hi everyone! I'm Camilo Castro, i was born in Venezuela. My father's family is from Venezuela and my mom's family is from Chile. I live with my sister, my parents and my dog in Machalí. and i have a brother, but he lives in united states. I study musical composition at the university and my career is at the same time my best hobby. I started to play the guitar when i was 11 years old and I really love to play Blues and Jazz music. But curiously, at the moment that i have to compose, most of time i compose classical music for orchestra and others ensembles.

POST 8: ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

Imagen
Well... I have had 2 university teachers and both have been very easygoing and nice. I had really bad teachers in the high school but we have to see the positive side, they were so bad speaking English that it was a little bit funny. A few years ago I went to California and at that moment I just knew the "to be" verb so I had to plan some questions and phrases to try to make a conversation... The result was bad because I always tried to speak fast... On the other hand, I improved my English very fast thanks to Tandem. It is a social media to learn English at the same time you make very nice friends, it is not an app for flirting, I make the advisory because that is the first thing that the people think XD. I made a lot of friends and I usually make video conversation with them. I like the idea about this blogs, but to be honest, I think that maybe it would not be the best method to practice writing because you decide what to say and many times if you do not know how to write ...

Post 5: My Future Job

What is my dream job? I am not sure about it, I just know that it has to be about music composition. At this moment I would like to work at the universities making different investigations and teaching "difficult lessons" in an easy way. I think that so many students can get better very easily if they have a good teacher and good class condition.  Some college teachers work temporarily in other countries doing masterclasses and that kind of stuffs, I think that would be a great excuse to travel while I do what I like the most. A college teacher work the most of time in a classroom interacting with people, but the classic musical composer work alone in his computer, so that's good point in favor of been a college teacher. The most exciting about this job is creating musical projects with students, there are many students with talent and energy to create new music. Sometimes is scary to think about what I'm going to work as a musician, and if I want to be a ...

Post 7: Changes to my study programme

Imagen
Well... I mentioned in my last comment that many careers need a programme change... Why do i think that? because there are many careers a little bit outdated because the most of teacher don't have a very good connection with the new technologies and new trends. For example, in my faculty the most of teachers just study a very specific kind of music (contemporary - classical music), that is really good, but at the same time is necessary to have others perspectives to study. It is common that teachers think that popular music (rock, blues, jazz and others) is easier than contemporary music and they think that just because they don't know the popular music. Ok, this post is making me a hater, hahahaha... Another important problem is that usually the music faculties and conservatories don't have a good economic situation. Today is very difficult to survive as a musician and as a music faculty. The art needs a special financing, it is necessary that the state support that kind o...
