Changes to my Study programme

 


Hi everyone, today I’ll post my reflections on the programme of my career, Sound Engineering.

My career is defined by this university as mixture between science, arts and technology. Because of that we have a curriculum that includes music studies, music production techniques, mathematics, physics, acoustics, electronics, coding, etc. It is very nice to have the chance to learn about those different topics, nevertheless, it implies a very heavy workload that even makes many students to drop the career. Just in this semester I have to course 9 (!!!) subjects, and I am up to date with the curriculum. It’s just that the career is designed in a way that you get an insane workload. The semester that I had the smallest number of subjects they were 7. So… that is one thing that I would definitely change about my career, and it is not that hard.

Depending on what subjects you choose on the fourth and fifth year of the career, you can have a specialization: Signals, or sound production. The first one is more like a scientific one, and the second one is more like the artistic side of the career. I think one way of lighten the workload of the students is to make the specialization process in the early years of the career, so then you don’t have to study all of the advanced acoustics and math subjects if you want to get the sound production specialization, for example.

The other thing that usually bothers me is the lack of facilities and implements, until 2019 we had a studio installation that is great… if you were in the 90’s. Fortunately, the career is growing and this year the apartment were able to buy new mixers, loudspeakers and different kinds of devices that are modern.

Well… those 2 things are the most annoying to me and my friends on the career. We have talked and complained about them like millions of times hah. Thanks for reading my discharges :p bye!

Post 2 - The best concert I've had

Imagen
  When someone ask me about the best concert of my life I immediately think about The Strokes on Lollapalooza. It was on April 2, 2017, in Parque O’higgins . The strokes is a rock band from New York, formed in 1998. They became very popular with their debut album Is this it , released in 2001. Since then, they’ve been very influential in many rock bands of the 2000’s and 2010’s. In Lollapalooza there are several stages so the artists can play simultaneously, and you have to choose where to go. I remember that the day of the concert my friends and I arrived very early to the stage where The Strokes was going to play. They were the last ones to perform so we saw a few bands that played at the same stage before. We were very focused on get the closest to the stage as possible. When The Strokes started their show we were really close to the stage, the problem was that people was so excited about the band that we lost each other in the crowd. Nevertheless, the show was great and I’m...

Blog 8 - My experience studying english

Time flies. This is the last blog of the semester and I’m going to talk about the experience of learning English at university. In my case, when I entered to my first semester in 2017 I did the English test and I got to English IV… BUT I didn’t take the subject until my eighth semester because of my schedule and the workload that I already told you about. So my experience studying English here it has only been on-line. I enjoyed the classes because I got the chance to practice my pronunciation and casual conversations that requires some sort of mental fluency. Plus, in the first classes I felt very shy to the idea of speaking english like “in public”, but along the semester I become more and more comfortable. About the blogs, I think they are a really really good idea given the circumstances of the pandemic and online classes. Writing blogs are useful for practice our writing skills and it’s helpful to get to know other classmates, their careers, personal interest, and many things th...
