Welcome!
Hello everyone, and welcome to my first blog!
Let me introduce myself.
My name is Vitaliano, or Vita and I'm a Mechatronics Engineering student at ITESM in Guadalajara, Mexico.
I've been playing the trumpet for more than 10 years now (man, has it been that long?).
I started playing back in fifth grade, and have played in marching bands, music ensembles, concerts, jazz bands and rock bands. The point of this blog is to share my experience of playing my trumpet and what it means to be a musician. In the near future I may record some songs played by moi.
I will write this blog conversationally, as if you’re my new friend and we’re having coffee
in a local neighborhood cafe. While I will interact with you as if you’re my friend, let’s face it: I
don’t have a clue who you are. I don’t have intimate details about your past, your age, your biases, your spouse, or your education. Therefore, I need to make some general assumptions to
ensure that our conversation seems personal to you. My assumptions:
• You also play or enjoy listening to trumpets or other brass instruments.
• You have big dreams, yet you’re concerned that the road you’re traveling will never
converge with those dreams.
• You’re college-bound, college-enrolled, or college-educated.
• You live in a free, democratic society where education and free choice are standards (so you ca listen to any kind of music, you never know).
• You understand the basics of western musical instruments and musical trends throughout history.
Almost all of what i will write will be from my personal experiences and points of view, so I Disclose Now that all info is to be taken with a pinch of salt, because playing an instrument is a learning process, its about (at first) trial and error, and later polishing the king out and grabbing some techniques. If i make references, they will be clearly quoted.
Now without further ado, let's get started!
PS. As I am bilingual (lived in the US for 8 years) I will also make posts in Spanish.
