My story in music #2

Cuando conocí a mi primer profesor no sabia mucho sobre el, sobre quien era o de donde venia, solo quería una esperanza en este mundo desconocido, me sentía desnudo e indefenso. No sabia nada de música y quería aprender a defenderme con los instrumentos. Empecé a ver sus clases diario sin importar si ese día no tenía que ir a su clase, cada una de ellas las tome, anote, practique e hice mías sus enseñanzas, el me decía que era como la guitarra del joven soldado (referencia a Silvio Rodriguez), dicha referencia me encanto pues desde pequeño escuche al guitarrista mas importante de mi vida el cual es Silvio Rodriguez. 6 meses después, una tarde me dijo "ya no tengo mas nada que enseñarte, eres sorprendente", ese día fuimos a la orquesta de la ciudad, era la primera vez que estaba ahí, llore, llore y llore al escuchar a todos poniendo su alma en sus instrumentos, me presentó ante todos y ese mismo día me probaron.

When I met my first teacher I didn't know much about him, about who he was or where he came from, I just wanted a hope in this unknown world, I felt naked and helpless. I didn't know anything about music and I wanted to learn how to defend myself with the instruments. I started to watch his classes every day no matter if I didn't have to go to his class that day, each one of them I took, wrote them down, practiced and made his teachings my own, he told me that I was like the young soldier's guitar (reference to Silvio Rodriguez), I loved this reference because since I was a child I listened to the most important guitarist in my life which is Silvio Rodriguez. 6 months later, one afternoon he told me "I have nothing more to teach you, you are amazing", that day we went to the orchestra of the city, it was the first time I was there, I cried, cried and cried to hear everyone putting their soul in their instruments, he introduced me to everyone and that same day they tested me.

Estaba muy nervioso, manos frías como hielo, sudor y titubeos salían de mi, hacía mucho tiempo que no me sentía tan nervios. no todo salio tan bien como quería, pero fui aceptado por el director de la orquesta, el cual solo me dijo (con su cara de fruncida, no por enojo, sino porque su cara es asi) "practique mucho porque se viene un concierto y quiero todo el apoyo posible, no hay muchos Cuatros en la orquesta, demuestreme que no me equivoco al escogerlo y tendrá mi respeto como también una oportunidad para ser parte de la orquesta". Dicho todo esto fui a la sala de profesores y me entregaron mis primeras partituras, eran demasiadas lineas y puntos negros que no comprendía, al final terminaron marcandome todos los acordes que tenia que hacer. Saliendo de ahí me dijeron que solo tenia una semana para el ensayo general, tenia 7 días para aprenderme 4 ritmos completamente distintos unos de los otros y aprenderme todas las partituras.

I was very nervous, hands as cold as ice, sweat and hesitation came out of me, it had been a long time since I felt so nervous. Not everything went as well as I wanted, but I was accepted by the director of the orchestra, who only told me (with a frown on his face, not out of anger, but because his face is like that) "practice a lot because there is a concert coming and I want all the support possible, there are not many Cuatros in the orchestra, show me that I am not wrong to choose you and you will have my respect as well as an opportunity to be part of the orchestra". Having said all this I went to the teachers room and they gave me my first scores, there were too many lines and black dots that I did not understand, in the end they ended up marking all the chords that I had to do. I was told that I only had a week for the dress rehearsal, I had 7 days to learn 4 rhythms completely different from each other and learn all the scores.
