My Story and My Passion: A Musical Journey Born from a Family Tradition

Music is often described as a universal language, a means of expression that transcends words. For me, this truth resonates deeply, as it embodies a musical passion inherited from previous generations. My journey, marked by pivotal choices from an early age, reflects a sincere love for the piano, an instrument that has always been a part of my daily life.

A Family History Rooted in Music

I was born into a family where music was part of everyday life. From childhood, I was surrounded by the melodies of the piano, whether played by the agile fingers of my grandmother or my father. The warm and comforting sounds that emanated from this instrument echoed throughout the house, creating an environment where music was more than just a hobby—it was a tradition, a precious legacy.

Growing up in such an atmosphere naturally sparked my interest in music. The moments spent watching my grandmother play, listening to my father interpret classical pieces, forged my admiration for the piano. Each note played told a story, and it was this ability to convey emotions through music that captivated me from a young age.

A Defining Choice:

At a crucial moment in my childhood, I found myself faced with a choice that would shape the rest of my life: should I follow in my family’s footsteps by pursuing the piano, or explore another passion, horseback riding? This was no trivial decision, as it involved defining the direction in which I would invest my time, energy, and heart.

Despite the allure of horseback riding, a discipline that requires as much rigor and passion as music, I was irresistibly drawn to the piano. It was more than just an instrument for me; it represented a connection to my family’s past, a link to the generations that came before me. The piano became my preferred means of expression, my refuge where I could explore my emotions and develop my creativity.

The Passion for Piano: A Lifelong Commitment

I began learning the piano relatively late compared to the norm, but this only intensified my determination to progress quickly. Once I started, I immersed myself passionately in this musical world, dedicating several hours a day to practice. Very quickly, my efforts paid off.

Despite the late start, I managed to progress through the conservatory stages at an accelerated pace. In just a few years, I completed the entire curriculum, up to the final cycle. My perseverance led me to practice five hours a day, a discipline that enabled me to overcome every technical and musical challenge.

This rigor was rewarded during my final exam, where I had the honor of receiving the jury’s commendation. This moment marked the culmination of an intense journey, but also the beginning of a new phase in my musical life, where I am ready to continue developing my skills and sharing my passion for the piano with as many people as possible.
