Your mind is wandering. 22 00:06:26,845 --> 00:06:29,139 When I started to offer music classes in Cateura, 23 00:06:29,431 --> 00:06:33,227 the news that I was offering free music classes spread very quickly. 24 00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:34,978 And many kids showed up. 25 00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:37,189 More kids than instruments. 26 00:06:40,776 --> 00:06:45,364 We did have a few instruments that people had donated. 27 00:06:45,656 --> 00:06:51,370 But we didn't have enough instruments for all of the kids that wanted to learn. 28 00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:58,502 And I said to myself, "We have to do something to get more instruments." 29 00:07:04,591 --> 00:07:07,386 However, a community like Cateura is not a safe place to have a violin. 30 00:07:09,096 --> 00:07:11,682 In fact, a violin is worth more than a house. 31 00:07:18,397 --> 00:07:21,400 I met Colá when he was working in the landfill as a ganchero. 32 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,575 Colá saw that I was teaching music and one day he approached me. 33 00:07:29,867 --> 00:07:34,037 He told me that he had experience working in carpentry. 34 00:07:37,583 --> 00:07:41,962 Favio asked me, "Do you think we can make instruments from garbage?" 35 00:07:42,254 --> 00:07:44,131 So I thought about the idea for a while. 36 00:07:44,423 --> 00:07:48,135 And then Favio brought me a real violin to see if I could make something similar. 37 00:07:48,427 --> 00:07:52,264 I took all the measurements and went to look for a metal can. 38 00:07:52,556 --> 00:07:54,975 And I told him, "That's what I'm going to use to make a violin." 39 00:08:05,736 --> 00:08:09,698 It was a continuous process of trial and error. 40 00:08:20,375 --> 00:08:24,505 I asked myself if it was something that could be used to play music 41 00:08:24,796 --> 00:08:25,964 or if it would be completely useless. 42 00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:14,763 When I played the first violin, it was a moment of enlightenment 43 00:09:15,055 --> 00:09:20,477 because we realized that it could function as a real musical instrument. 44 00:09:21,853 --> 00:09:26,024 Then we figured we could make other types of instruments. 45 00:09:27,401 --> 00:09:29,570 I could use this to make a drum. 46 00:09:36,785 --> 00:09:42,374 This drum has an X-ray for a drum head. 47 00:09:45,586 --> 00:09:49,840 I can use this to make a cello. 48 00:09:50,132 --> 00:09:56,179 This weird-looking cello is made from an oil can, 49 00:09:56,471 --> 00:10:02,019 as well as a wooden spoon used for cooking. 50 00:10:02,311 --> 00:10:06,273 The tuning pegs are made from wooden spoons, 51 00:10:06,565 --> 00:10:08,817 a water spigot, 52 00:10:09,109 --> 00:10:12,446 and a size 12 heel from a women's shoe. 53 00:10:12,738 --> 00:10:21,038 Two nice pieces of wood from a palette that I can use for a cello, bass, or violin. 54 00:10:33,091 --> 00:10:37,220 No one believed that we could make musical instruments from garbage. 55 00:10:39,348 --> 00:10:41,475 But in the end, we made them all. 56 00:10:55,906 --> 00:10:57,199 Play using the top end of the bow. 57 00:11:09,252 --> 00:11:13,048 Today is the first day you're playing this song.

Alright, let's start again. 60 00:11:24,976 --> 00:11:28,522 In the beginning, I felt really frustrated 61 00:11:28,814 --> 00:11:32,150 because nothing I played sounded as good as I wanted it to. 62 00:11:33,694 --> 00:11:36,029 Hold on a second. 63 00:11:36,321 --> 00:11:37,155 No. 64 00:11:37,447 --> 00:11:42,411 In a good orchestra, all of the violins sound the same. 65 00:11:42,703 --> 00:11:45,997 That means you have to play the same notes in unison. 66 00:11:46,289 --> 00:11:50,877 Your technique is what makes the instruments sound different. 67 00:11:51,169 --> 00:11:53,755 That's why your technique is so important. 68 00:11:54,047 --> 00:11:55,966 Let's try it again. 69 00:12:20,991 --> 00:12:26,121 One day, my grandmother saw a flyer for guitar and violin lessons. 70 00:12:26,413 --> 00:12:28,707 And without asking, she signed me up for classes. 71 00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:32,878 I used to dream of being a singer. 72 00:12:33,170 --> 00:12:37,090 I love music, especially rock music. I'm a fan of the Beatles and similar groups. 73 00:12:37,382 --> 00:12:39,926 I used to think, "How great would it be to learn to play music." 74 00:12:40,218 --> 00:12:42,637 Before, if you wanted to study music, you had to pay for classes in Asunción. 75 00:12:47,809 --> 00:12:52,439 But then I found this opportunity for music lessons with recycled instruments. 76 00:12:52,731 --> 00:12:56,443 I never imagined that it would be free. Especially nowadays. 77 00:13:01,031 --> 00:13:03,492 I live with my dad... 78 00:13:03,784 --> 00:13:05,202 ...with my mom... 79 00:13:05,494 --> 00:13:07,454 ...with my sister, and with our pets. 80 00:13:15,128 --> 00:13:16,546 You have to cut all of the knots. 81 00:13:16,838 --> 00:13:18,507 Otherwise it's hard to work with. 82 00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:27,599 I worked as a ganchero in the landfill for two years from the age of 16 to 18. 83 00:13:29,267 --> 00:13:35,190 In the landfill, I was fortunate to find lots of different cassette tapes. 84 00:13:35,482 --> 00:13:37,609 One of the best tapes I found 85 00:13:37,901 --> 00:13:39,694 was an album by Phil Collins. 86 00:13:39,986 --> 00:13:42,864 His music was a huge part of my life back then. 87 00:13:43,156 --> 00:13:49,955 After that, I started to learn about other music that I didn't even know existed. 88 00:13:50,247 --> 00:13:53,583 Those groups included Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. 89 00:13:53,875 --> 00:13:57,462 This is one of the most important things that I've taught my daughters. 90 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,633 Musicians from all over the world. 91 00:14:01,925 --> 00:14:05,595 I have always been interested in the three great composers. 92 00:14:05,887 --> 00:14:06,972 Mozart, 93 00:14:07,264 --> 00:14:08,431 Sebastian Bach, 94 00:14:08,723 --> 00:14:10,433 Ludwig van Beethoven. 95 00:14:12,936 --> 00:14:16,022 Jimmy Hendrix.
