When I am asked, I can’t always explain why I have never written my own music. I love to play, love to listen to different kinds of musical expressions, like to teach about good music. But thinking about it now, simply I haven’t had the urge to express myself through melodies and rhythm.

With words it is different. In the process of moving from my parents house I found about 10 notebooks with different things written by myself. Most were journals in which I wrote about my school crushes, and how my parents made me mad, or how a friend made me cry.

I sat down and read. Pages and pages of pieces of my growing heart were there. I saw how those experiences changed me, made me strong, made me be who I am. Today I start writing in this platform just because I have always wanted to start a blog which I already have the name, Melodías y Arena.

Melodías because melodies and music is what moves me to be creative and Arena because the sea, the ocean is a big part of me. This “blog” is a personal expression but you may be surprised to how many things and subjects my mind will lead you to. I really hope you hop on the wave with me.
