Music in my life
Music has been part of my life for quite a long time. I started my formal education on the piano in 1993 and went on until 2000, when I dropped it to apply for college and pursue my engineering degree. Despite that fact, I continued studying on my own and also learned another instrument, the guitar, which I play since 1997. My current music works include studying Chopin pieces on the piano and composition for the electric guitar.
I am also a contributor to the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra (OSESP).
All my posts about guitar and piano can be found in my music blog. You can also check some recordings in my YouTube channel.
