I think this picture is one of my favourite pictures in the life, in this you see my grandfather and me in 2007, my father taken this photo. I dont have many memories of my grandfather as I would like, but this moment I  remember it well, my father put the electric piano on the table and I started to play, I dont know how to do it but my grandfather said I was good at it. After the photo, he took out an old voice recorder and began to "interview" me about why I liked the piano and what I was playing, I was 4 years old in this moment, I answered many nonsense things, but I sounded happy, because I loved visiting my grandfather.  In 2009 he had cancer and could not recover, I think the humanity lost something when he left. I know that if he were here now he would  continue to support me like he always did

 This is a really difficult question to answer, I think nobody can choose a only one, or at least I can´t. I think in my life I have had many "favorite movies", when I was a child, my favourite movie was "Shrek 1", then was "Hotel for dogs",  and so many others. But in these last years, there is a movie that made me feel something special, it was like finding something of my own in this one, and it expressed exactly a lot of what I thought. This movie is "Princesa Mononoke" direct by Hayao Miyazaki. This movie expressed the infinity war between nature and progress human, the biggest criticism is that que human ambition is capable of destroying everything. One of the situation in this movie, is one of the situations in this movie is that one of the characters wants to steal the head of the "servant god", which symbolizes the life of the forest, and almost at the end of the movie, he does it and runs away with his head, this causes the fo...

 I think I love technology and I use ir all the time, but my favourite definitelly is my laptop. When I was a child in my home my family have a big computer (size), the screen was very thick and the CPU was very old, the computer was very slow but was very entertaining for me, especially the games. In the time, my father gave me a CD called "300 games of computer" and was really cool! this CD have a lot of games like Pacman, Mario Bros, Spider Man, even a game of Tarzan (this was my favourite). The problem was the computer was in my Brother`s room, my older brother, and he didn`t like when I went to his room, so I couldnt play in the computer every time, only sometime.  Then, change this computer and my father bought a new, in that I could play other games, like Minecraft and GTA San Andreas, and I discovered Youtube, this was incredible. I used this computer whit my family a lot of time, then my older brother bought a laptop, and my little brother too. They had laptops, but ...

I think I want to be a pianist since I can remember. When I was a child always feeling sure with my expectatives in the future, I started playing the piano when I was 5 years old, my dad taught me, and I start study when I was 9 years old. However my dreams of the past arent the I want now, I remeber I wanted be a very famouse pianist and so recognized in the world, tour and win prizes. But now my interests changed, in my experience in the university I discovered diferents things that I think are so much important for me, and some of this is teach, is one my favourite thing, share music with others, make music with others musicians, show a lot of music of the latinoamerican`s composers that are very little know (unlike european's composers) or just take the music to places where it can make a change in the life of people.
