Como a la mayoría de nosotros, desde muy temprana edad me llamo mucho la atención la música. Recuerdo de niño sentarme frente a la Consola de mis padres en la penumbra del día justo cuando nos preparábamos para ir a dormir o los fines de semana. El sonido peculiar de los Discos Lp – sonido que los CDs solo pueden intentar igualar –. La calidez y fidelidad del sonido me hacia sentir como si los músicos de la banda estuvieran ahí mismo frente a mi. Recuerdo muy bien que al escuchar los discos yo cerraba los ojos con la intención de disfrutar la música, pero también con la intención de identificar los instrumentos de la banda. Todos aquellas sensaciones solo puedo describirlas como un arrullo para el alma.
Like most of us, from an early age I was very interested in music. I remember as a child sitting in front of my parents' Console in the twilight of the day just as we were getting ready to go to sleep or on the weekends. The peculiar sound of Lp Records – a sound that today’s CDs can only try to match. The warmth and fidelity of the sound made me feel as if the band’s musicians were right there in front of me. I remember very well that when listening to the records I closed my eyes with the intention of enjoying the music, but also with the intention of identifying the instruments of the band. I can only describe the sensations I felt back then as a lullaby for the soul.
Dos sonidos en particular cautivaron mi atención. Como a la mayoría de los niños - la batería era uno de ellos. El otro era el sonido del saxofón. La calidez del instrumento me fascinó a tal grado que se ha quedado conmigo hasta el día de hoy. El impacto del sonido fue tanto que aproveché la primer oportunidad que tuve para aprender a música. Sin embargo mi primer instrumento no fue el saxofón sino la guitarra. Después continué con clases de piano, la batería, la armónica y por último, el saxofón. El saxofón fue el último de los instrumentos que aprendí a toca principalmente por los costos que este implicaba, pero también por no tener acceso a un maestro de esa especialidad. Así es que aprendí ya de adulto. Hoy puedo decir que él me atrapó desde la primera vez que tomé uno en mis manos. ¡Todavía puedo recordad cuando pude emitir las primeras notas musicales!
Two sounds in particular caught my attention. Like most kids – the sound of Drums was one of them. The other was the sound of the saxophone. The warmth of the instrument fascinated me to such a degree that it has stayed with me to this day. The impact of sound was so great that I took advantage of the first opportunity I had to learn music. However, my first instrument was not the saxophone but the guitar. Later on, I continued with piano lessons, drums, harmonica, and finally the saxophone. The saxophone was the last of the instruments that I learned to play mainly because of the costs involved with it, but also because I did not have access to a proper saxophone teacher. So I learned as an adult. Today I can say that he caught me from the first time I took one in my hands. I can still remember the time I was able to emit the first notes with him!
El día de hoy le dedico más tiempo a la guitarra, sin embargo mi primer amor musical sigue siendo el Saxofón Bb. De hecho, durante un par de años forme parte de un ensamble de Jazz. El sonido que los diferentes instrumentos de viento emiten mezclados con las percusiones y demás instrumentos es simplemente fantástica. Estar frente al público es obviamente muy satisfactorio, sin embargo el escenario y las luces es solo el resultado final. Todo comienza con las hartas horas y meses de práctica. Todo comienza ahí donde no hay público que aplauda. Como en toda banda, la meta es armonizar y producir una Eufonía, lo cual sólo es posible cuando todo miembro de la orquesta toca las mismas partituras musicales, cuando cada individuo se esfuerza individualmente para trabajar en equipo – y obviamente cuando disfruta de la música. Ultimadamente es imprescindible que TODO en UNIDAD persigan la misma META. De otra forma lo único que la audiencia experimentará el día del concierto será una Cacofonía.
Today I dedicate more time to the guitar, however my first musical love is still the Bb Saxophone. In fact, for a couple of years, I was part of a Jazz ensemble. The sound that the different wind instruments emit mixed with the percussions and other instruments is simply fantastic. Being in front of the audience is obviously very satisfying, however, the stage and lights are just the end result. It all starts with the many hours and months of practice. It all starts there where there is no audience to applaud. As in any band, the goal is to harmonize and produce a euphony, which is only possible when every member of the orchestra plays the same musical scores, when each individual makes an effort to work as a team – and obviously when they enjoy the music. Ultimately it is essential that EVERYTHING in UNITY pursue the same GOAL. Otherwise, the only thing the audience will experience on the day of the concert will be a cacophony.
¿Por qué les cuento eso? Porque pienso que los mismos principios que un ensamble musical aplica para producir una Eufonia son valiosos para ser aplicados a todas las áreas de la vida. No importa si estamos hablando de una orquesta, un equipo de futból o un equipo desarrollando un nuevo producto, la familia, un barrio, una empresa o la sociedad en general. Si los miembros de un grupo son orgullosos, obstinados y están convencidos de que las partituras y la forma en que ellos están tocando son las correctas los resultados serán simplemente catastróficos. Por otro lado, si dos o más personas están convencidas de que no se trata de brillar de forma individual sino de triunfar en conjunto – por más demandante que el reto pueda ser – trabajan unidos hacia la misma meta aceptando compromisos que beneficie a todos – entonces y solo entonces – el resultado final será como un arrullo para el alma.
Why am I telling you that? Because I think that the same principles that a musical ensemble applies to produce a Euphony are valuable to be applied to all areas of life. It doesn't matter if we are talking about an orchestra, a soccer team, or a team developing a new product, the family, a neighborhood, a company, or society in general. If the members of a group are arrogant, stubborn, and convinced that the scores and the way they are playing are the right way the results will be simply catastrophic. On the other hand, if two or more people are convinced that it is not about shining individually but about succeeding together – no matter how demanding the challenge maybe – work together towards the same goal accepting compromises that benefit everyone – then and only then – the end result will be like a lullaby for the soul.

Thank you @hivebuzz ! I'll keep working to get to the next level!
You're welcome @acgalarza, that's a real pleasure! Congrats on this and keep going like this 😊👍
Love this; great words and analogies! Inspiring to read of such talent too...I've always wished I could play an instrument; how amazing that you can play so many. I look forward to reading more.
Hola @resiliencelouise and thank you for your words of appreciation! I don't know if I'm talented, but I do love playing music tough! 😉
By the way, never is too late to learn to play an instrument. The first instrument is the hardest to learn, but after that, it gets easier and easier.
Best regards!
That's some talent you've got, being able to play these many instruments, wow! Bravo👏
Good morning, @queenstarr and thank you for the compliment!🤗
I enjoyed reading you
I love your descriptive skills
Thank you, @sperosamuel15 , that is very kind of you! I'm glad you liked it! Hearing that gives me strength to keep on writing.
I'll always come around
Keep dishing out what you have in store for us😍
I think you hit on a key point here, and although I never was in a band or orchestra, many of my friends were, and I saw how it changed the way they thought. Taught them cohesiveness that I lacked myself at the time.
I learned guitar in later life and can sometimes find myself drifting away into another mode of being when playing, but mostly now that happens for me writing fiction.
And although it may seem not to be relevant to someone who writes novels, the same is still true. The characters must all act based upon their character traits in a certain way to create a kind of cohesive picture. Even in points of conflict, the resolution must be found, or at least searched for, to make the story work.
Anyway, I'm glad I saw your post on the dreamport PYP show and have followed you now 🙂
Yes, most definitely being part of a group working towards a common goal changes the individual on many levels. Hopefull good levels! 😉 And yes, to be able to produce music, books - or anything for that matter - is very much a sort of spiritual experience.
Again, I think you are right. Harmony must exist in all parts of what we do. Sometimes we are part of a whole and sometimes we produce something with many parts. In a watch for example - or a novel with many characters and drama like the those you write - there must be harmony among the parts. Beautiful analogy, thanks!
I also enjoy your PYPT meeting today and I'm looking forward to next week. I have also just followed you!

@samsmith1971 Thank you for upvoted me! I really need to know more about the VYB Curation Project.
You can find out all about it on the VYB.VYB and VYB.HUB accounts. It is a relatively new community, still in testing phase, but which sits alongside and complements the Proof of Brain community. More updates should be out soon.
Thanks, @samsmith1971 , I will check it out!
Best regards!
Hermoso post, gracias por compartir tu historia con la Musa 🌸😍😍😍🔥🎶🎶🎶@acgalarza
¡ah, la Musa! Definitivamente nos inspira en más de una forma y constantemente. Yo estoy al pendiente de tus vídeos y veo que ella te inspira diariamente. ¡Gracias por tu comentario, @itzchemaya y por deleitarnos con tu 🎵🎶🎵🎶
Que bonita analogía, no me lo esperaba, pero así es es, todo en la vida es un sistema comuesta de diferentes partes, que si no trabajan en conjuntopara lograr el mismo fin no serviría de nada. Así como un grupo de instrumentos tocando cada uno al azar simplemente sería ruido de la misma manera el trabajo en equipo es lo que dará la armonía. Bien dicho 😊
Me da gusto de que te haya aportado algo positivo. Y si, la armonía entre las piezas es importante para producir algo de valor y bello.
Esas palabras encajan en el tema - es un principio universal.
¡Gracias por leerme y por tu comentario, @marbrym !
Claro que si, estoy totalmente de acuerdo con eso, que tenga una linda noche 😊
Thank you, @thoughtfulposts !
Una analogía perfecta de cómo funcionan la mayoría de las cosas en la vida. Si buscamos brillar juntos las posibilidades de éxito suelen ser mucho mayores. :)
100% de acuerdo, @coquicoin ! Un principio tan sencillo, pero tan dificil para muchos de adoptar. No importa, nosotros lo seguiremos intentando, ¿cierto?
Gracias por comentar. Que tengas un excelente fin de semana
Most excellent writeup @acgalarza, you are correct to a point in most formal symphony orchestras or bands, but one of the greatest rock bands always tried to outdo each other, and that band was Cream, who has been around since the 1960s. Even though they tried to outdo each other, they wound up sounding fantastic and set many records.
I play a guitar, myself, and enjoy it.

¡Oh wow! I didn't know that fact about Cream. Too bad, isn't it! They were a great band on their own terms, even with such internal conflicts, imagine what would have been having they chosen to lift each other to their maximum potential.
Well, well, well, you play guitar! Awesome fellow musician! E-Guitar, am I wrong! I play mostly acoustic. Lovely instrument - a great companion to soothe the spirit and get inspiration!
Thanks for the encouragemente!
Yes, you are wrong lol, I have the cheapest box I could find (acoustic) and I have had some pretty good guitars in the past @acgalarza. I've had this same one for about 8 or 10 years now, and my son bought me some new strings for it, and says it still plays excellent. I have had electric in the past, but they are long gone, just like my Ovation. And we do still have a set of Ludwig drums that are over at his house that he learned to play on until the music teacher stated he could not teach my son anymore, that his playing was astronomical. Pretty good until I found out he liked the guitar, banjo, mandolin, and any other oddity made hahahahahahaha!!!
🤣👍
