My Musical Influences

I appreciate almost all styles. At the piano, I preferred to play Baroque, Impressionist and contemporary styles. I have listened to many hours of classical, romantic and impressionist styles, jazz, bossa nova, música popular brasileira, Afro-Brazilian percussion, and pop and rock by artists who explore timbres and other expressive means to communicate their messages. I’ve enjoyed diversifying musically, moving, singing and playing in different styles.
