Private Education:

I initiated my musical education in my homeland, El Salvador, San Salvador, delving into private guitar lessons at the age of 10. Later, I furthered my studies at the National Art Center in El Salvador, concentrating on classical guitar. Despite the primary focus on guitar, my thirst for musical knowledge led me to explore piano independently, delving into music theory and composition. Upon obtaining my high school diploma, I ventured to the United States to commence my studies at Montgomery College in Rockville. There, my musical journey shifted toward piano and composition. Completing my associates in music, I then progressed to the University of Maryland. Here, I immersed myself in the study of music and piano performance, with a dedicated focus on classical music. My educational path reflects a passion for both guitar and piano, showcasing a commitment to the multifaceted world of music.
