"
Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the
agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and
delightful presents God has given us."

I
love music and I have always been fascinated by the piano since
I was a little girl. I began to study the piano when I was 12
years old, but I only got my piano two years later. My dad bought
it for my birthday. It was the best present I received in my
whole life. |

I studied for
many years with Myriam Pamplona de Campos, who taught music at
the Brazilian Music
Conservatory
(Conservatório Brasileiro de Música). When I entered
university, I studied with the Brazilian pianist Heitor Alimonda
at Rio de Janeiro's Federal University Music School (Escola de Música
da UFRJ).
I have to thank my dear teacher Myriam for everything she taught
me along these years. |

The Piano
"The idea
of fitting a keyboard to an instrument with strings, which started
to vibrate when struck by hammers, was conceived probably in
the fourteenth and certainly in the fifteenth century.
Bartolommeo Cristofori,
a Paduan harpsichord maker, is credited with constructing the
first piano, the date usually put at between 1709 and 171 1.
He called his new instrument "gravicembalo col piano e forte",
or "harpsichord with soft and loud". In shape and general
construction it resembled a harpsichord, but it differed in its
action mechanism.
The year 2000
marked the 300th anniversary of the invention of the piano." |

" O music, In your
depths we deposit our hearts and souls. Thou hast taught us to

for music."
