Time travel to the 70's


Hi, I'm Javier Sandoval and I love music from the 70s. I've always wondered what it would be like to travel back in time and experience the music scene of that decade first-hand. So, I decided to go on a time travel adventure and visit New York City in 1977, the year of the punk rock explosion.

I was amazed by the diversity and creativity of the music I heard. I saw bands like the Ramones, Blondie, and Talking Heads perform live at CBGB, the legendary club that launched their careers. I also go to the disco beats at Studio 54, where celebrities like Andy Warhol, Diana Ross, and Mick Jagger usually go . And of course, I witnessed the birth of hip hop in the Bronx, where DJs like Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa spun records and MCs like Kurtis Blow and Sugarhill Gang rapped over them.

It was an incredible experience. The music was awesome, the energy was electric, and I felt like I was part of a cultural revolution that changed the world. I learned a lot about the history and the context of the music I love, and I gained a new appreciation for the artists and their struggles.

But as much as I enjoyed my time travel adventure, I wouldn't want to stay there forever. There were also many things that bothered me about the 70s, especially the lack of social progress and human rights. The racism, sexism, homophobia, and violence everywhere. People suffering from poverty, crime, and disease. I saw a society divided by politics, religion, and class. I realized how lucky I am to live in the 21st century, where we have more freedom, equality, and opportunity than ever before.

So, I'm glad I got to visit the 70s, but I'm happier to be back in the present. I think the best way to enjoy the music of the past is to listen to it in the context of the present, and to appreciate how far we've come and how much we still have to do. That's what I'm going to do from now on.

Changes in the curriculum of music theory at the University of Chile

Hi, I'm Javier Sandoval, a music theory student at the University of Chile. I'm also a member of the innovation committee of my career, where we are working on updating and improving the curriculum of our program. In this blog post, I want to share with you some of the changes that we are proposing and why they are important for the future of music education. One of the main changes that we are suggesting is to include popular music in the areas of study of courses such as musical language and keyboard. Currently, these courses are focused mainly on classical music, which is valuable and necessary, but not enough to reflect the diversity and richness of musical expressions in our society. We believe that by incorporating popular music genres such as rock, pop, jazz, folk, and others, we can broaden our musical horizons, develop our creativity and critical thinking, and connect better with our audiences and contexts. Popular music is not only a source of entertainment, but also ...

My Dream Job

My name is Javier Sandoval and I have a passion for music. Ever since I was a child, I loved listening to different genres and styles of music, from classical to rock, from pop to jazz. I always wondered how the composers could create such beautiful and expressive melodies, harmonies, and rhythms. That's why my dream job is to be a musical composer. A musical composer is someone who writes and arranges original music for various purposes, such as films, games, advertisements, or concerts. A composer needs to have a good knowledge of music theory, which is the study of how music works and how it can be manipulated. Music theory helps composers to understand the structure, form, and function of music, as well as the relationships between notes, chords, scales, and modes. Music theory also helps composers to develop their own musical style and creativity. To be a successful composer, one also needs to have some practical skills, such as playing an instrument, using music software, and...
