A warm greeting to everyone in the #Music community. I am pleased to present to you my trumpet performance of "She's Always A Woman", a soft rock song composed by Billy Joel. I love his music, he has a great ability to create stories and connect with people. I am practicing several iconic songs written by him, and I really enjoy it a lot because of its harmonic richness and his powerful messages. This piece of music begins in a 6/8 time signature, and then adapts to other irregular patterns. The lyrics are not just a love song, but a portrait of a modern woman. It explores the different facets of her beloved, celebrating her strength, independence and complexity. The song is written in the key of Eb major. The harmony is rich and nuanced, combining elements of tonal and modal harmony. In addition, it has a beautiful, expressive and memorable melody.

Recently, I shared some reflections on the social and spiritual dimension of musicians. Today I want to talk about the physical aspect, which is often underestimated. It has always been said that “A healthy body, a healthy mind.” When you take care of your body, this brings benefits in performance, well-being and comprehensive development. As a trumpeter it is important to maintain excellent physical condition, one must take care of one's health and must also cultivate the habit of exercising. Some activities that have helped me are running, climbing stairs, and swimming. This has helped me improve my technical control and helps me know myself and improve my body expression. Another aspect is that it helps you reduce the risk of injuries, fills you with energy and resistance, which has a positive impact on your health. You also become more disciplined, have better stress control and become more creative. This also applies to singers.

Recientemente, compartía algunas reflexiones sobre la dimensión social y espiritual de los músicos. Hoy quiero hablar del aspecto físico, el cual muchas veces es subestimado. Siempre se ha dicho que “Cuerpo Sano, en mente sana”. Cuando uno cuida su cuerpo, esto trae beneficios en el desempeño, bienestar y desarrollo integral. Como trompetista es importante mantener un excelente estado físico, uno debe cuidar de su salud y además debe cultivar el hábito de hacer ejercicios. Algunas actividades que me han ayudado son correr, subir escaleras y nadar. Eso me ha ayudado a mejorar mi control técnico y me ayuda a conocerme a mí mismo y mejorar mi expresión corporal. Otro aspecto es que te ayuda a reducir el riesgo de lesiones, te llena de energía y de resistencia, lo cual incide positivamente en la salud. También te vuelves más disciplinado, un mejor control del estrés y te conviertes en alguien más creativo. Esto también aplica para los cantantes.
She's Always A Woman
She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals
What she wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me
She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her
As long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me
Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
Mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mm
Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
But she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
Mmm mm, mmm mm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
