this leads us to the top and top

that little cylindrical wooden bar

that we see placed perpendicularly in

half of the two violin covers and their

I contextualize a bit I’m going to

tell how I came to know all this

I was born 16 years ago in Pereira in the

sine of a humble family and without

no artistic background

at six I was enrolled for

second grade in a college in which

will offer extracurricular classes of

sweet flute and I very interested told him

to my mother who wanted to participate

she bought me a toy flute

surely thinking that I would not take it

seriously but it was not like that

I ran with her to register

classes and the first day

my teacher told me that I should get

a better flute because that was from

toy and it did not help me to practice

then write this note in my

notebook to take the same and that

I knew I should change

after buying the referred debt

continue with my classes normally and

by the end of the year we only had three

of the fifteen years that we started with

the classes

those three we were in charge of

make a small presentation for

the closing of the school was the first

once I climbed onto a stage with

an instrument in the morning and although

it only consisted of playing two notes with

different rhythmic alterations

the interpreter with all my soul because

I felt fully identified with

the music and I always wanted to take a step

beyond to enter that world

wonderful

at age 7 they proposed me to be part of

of the Christmas choir of my church but

I confess that I do not know how to sing and what

what I wanted was to really accompany

to the chorus with my flute

so I took it to all the trials

one day I told the teacher that I

allowed to entertain the song with a

instrument to which he had no

I repair and I can confess that these

Christmas carols with music were something else

especially for me

then I wanted restless for the music

advance a little more in this art

learning new instrument would be

long net since I saw that the bottom

that accompanies the Eucharist played

beautifully and my soul widened

every time I heard him interpret

some song

so I asked an organist for my

family but I had to give them time because

this if these types of instruments are a

little expensive and for Christmas they gave me

is an organist I immediately put myself in the

task of looking for where I could learn to

touching I did it came to mind to

sell online

first look on youtube and not

I found something that seemed to me

functional for me and then I went to

soccer and I found

a page in English of a pianist

who also gave classes I subscribed and

I started taking lessons video

tutorial

the following year a daily very

recognized the city launched a

campaign by which once to the

week the newspaper brought a bonus with

which could claim a

musical instrument contributing a

small sum of money of course

when I realized this I was already

a little late and I could only get

this little guitar to be able

learning to play was still supporting me in

internet and but but what was happening was

that my house the internet was a bit

restricted because I first had to

do the tasks to comply with

homework to bed early because I was

a girl

so he can not devote much

time to classes by this means and

little by little I was letting him learn to

interpret an instrument transported

my soul other spheres

but I did not want to stay there I wanted to

make part of a group do

concerts presentations

I wanted to share that passion with others

people so that they too

feel they want to put the soul of

things later

later I went back to writing

that I had been practicing for

a time since childhood and so much

put the soul this activity that I

He led to winning several

story and poetry contests that

they made at school too

participant of the regional contest of

ecological stories and the first the

first time I participated that in the

second place between approximately

10,000 people and the following year

occupy the first place among 12,000

participants from all the department

that award was made in the

school of one of the companies

sponsors of which I remained

in love since I met him and

next year

I had the opportunity to enter to study

there

simultaneously enter a school of

artistic training in which

I studied three years of acting and a

year of ballet and vicar and also

I had the opportunity to study

music because it offered string lessons

plucked strings rubbed percussion

winds among others

I told my family and they very

They kindly bought me a violin for

I could go to study there

while the

inscriptions again

I was also leaning on the

tutorials offered by the internet for

learn to touch it which helped me

quite when I managed to enter the

formal classes because he had many

bases without advanced actions with

with respect to my colleagues

that led to the director of one of

the orchestras told me that with one or

two more kinds of technique could

join one of the orchestras

this is an achievement that normally takes a

year to reach in the institute him

they lent the instruments to the boys

that they did not have with the aggravating circumstance that

they were more students than instruments

therefore they not only let out of the

campus so they could practice in

their houses

the works that they put of task

these guys who did not have an instrument

they had a little formative process

slower than those who had a

own instrument they could leave their

free time to music

many times I had to see even as

they pretend to have the instrument in their

hands or marked the notes putting their

fingers on your forearms

I felt very helpless

this was a place that he welcomed in his

most poor children as

pretend that they bought an instrument

professional is that because they did not have

them the basic tools so that

the boys could train

properly and comfortably

I felt I had to do something because it

I did here

how many children would the world have in the

same situation as with so much potential

artistic and putting all his soul in

learn they had to defect

only for not having an instrument

own three months after being on

I institute my violin teacher told me

that I had big hands and that it was

to play a viola that the orchestras

they were scarce and should have been ready

this instrument to be able to integrate

easily to one maybe we will not notice

either for lack of information by

why we have not interacted much with the

instruments among other things but the

violin the viola have their differences

Viola is larger thicker

more serious heavier than the violin

also it differs in the way

how they are tuned because the violin is

they have a sharper rope than

it’s me while the viola has a

more serious rope that is what would come

being this

the agreements are the same

the network

then well they also have a

small variation in the doorbell

so the violin are like that

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

and

[Music]

and the viola

so it would sound a little more hoarse more

serious case is that I accept the offer

of my teacher and he had a serious

problem did not have viola at that time

I began to experience frustration

felt all those young people who

daily and they need to be prepared

instrument especially in my case because

there was only one viola for several

instrumentalists of three different

orchestras but I do not love me and that’s why

so I put the soul to change the

situation

in my house I started to practice with my

violin sometimes as if it were about

viola with cordage sometimes making

the strings complicated but I

after this I

I auditioned with the viola of the institute and

become a member of the orchestra

juvenile in the violas section and

once in the trial the director

he said we took out the score of the

work blue eyes which I did not have

What does my recent orchestra entrance give me?

I did not know they were riding him like that

that not to hinder what they were

doing my classmates simply

I played the instrument and I stayed still

the director immediately noticed it

I wonder why he had done it

I told him that I honestly did not know

the work I felt very embarrassed with the

orchestra and at the same time very frustrated because

I knew that to get to the level of

them that by the way had very well

mounted the work needed needed

burst several hours in my house with a

violates because it required the agreement to

play this this play so I said to myself

Clear

the solution is to make my own

instruments read my mother wanted a

violin for me with the materials that

you will find I did not care which ones

were to then put strings of

viola and practice with him even if

in my house and that’s how it was

when I managed to have a prototype

quite wrong by the way came the

Christmas and he saw me then

so I put aside the idea of

make my own instruments but

then in tenth grade

they asked us at school to

let’s do a final project of degree i

d one came to my mind that

violin aesthetically and technically

wrong he had tried to do

long ago and I put on the challenge of

retake the idea began to investigate

how a violin was built

how could you replace the wood and in

against which materials like cardboard

can form the body

the psc the fretboard and the ico for the

newspaper some reinforcements and part

internal improvements to improve the

prototype pass by this was the second

until I get to this

so there are also violins a viola

but curiously as long as a musician

or someone who knows this kind of

instruments see it asks me and has

soul I say of course but if we do not

it would sound the same way but not

he just has that soul also carries the

mine that he put him to build it and the

that I put every day to everything

what do I do?

[Applause]
