Hi, my name is Raul Huaman. I am a fifth year senior (or as we like to call it in the music department, I am a super senior), not by choice but because that's the time it takes to finish all the music and education requirements. My major is music education. I play guitar as my main instrument, I've been playing since I was seven years old. I play different styles from rock to jazz to classical even some bluegrass. Some other instruments I play are the banjo, mandolin, piano, electric bass, lute, saxophone and some violin. If you want to hear me play I'll be playing at the Kaleidoscope Concert and the production of Full Monty this semester, both events in Kasser Theater. I also teach guitar lessons to students of all ages. My oldest student is 64.
I was born in Lima, Peru. I moved to the States in 1999. I got here just in time to start 9th grade. I was lucky that my school, Elizabeth High School, had a guitar program. That helped me in finding my way to what i wanted to do in life. I realized that I could play music and also teach it also.
In regards to reading, I go through different phases. Sometimes I can't stop reading and some other times I just read when I have to. Most of my favorite books are in Spanish, but I have some favorites in English too. My favorite author is Gabriel Garcia Marquez, he's colombian and a Nobel prize winner. My favorite book is A 100 years of solitude.
Well, I think that's it.

That is not an easy book to read, Raul. I love Marquez, especially Love in the Time of Cholera, but I have the hardest time with 100 Years. I can't tell you how many times I have picked it up and put it down again, just so dense at times.
Very cool that you play all those instruments. When I lived in Nashville, I went to a lot of bluegrass shows -- it was a great place for that.
