This Is My Story

I perfectly remember how the music captured my attention as a child and how since then keyboards became my favorite toys; with them I searched for familiar melodies or created new ones, always feeling free and happy ... shortly afterwards I began to study music, first in an academy, then in conservatory, graduating years later in classical piano and pedagogy. Thanks to that I learned to know and love classical music, to understand the sacrifice of playing an instrument, to look a thousand ways to make musical teaching attractive ... but my ideas, my musical intuition, my non-conformism with styles or established patterns, each time appeared strongerly. After leaving my comfort zone completely, moving from country twice, I began to dedicate different activities related to music for which I did not have that 'label', which took me away from the piano for a while but expanded and regenerated my vision as musician. My husband with whom I share vocation and profession played an important role in that process, encouraging me to listen and let that 'inner self' say. After settling in Miami, I returned to the piano that had captivated me in childhood and I found in it at last a form of communication that reflected my essence. The Journey was born.
