Biography
Pedro Camacho started learning composition with the talented
Argentinean maestro and composer Roberto Pérez in his home city''s
Conservatoire and Arts School.
After
two years he moved to Lisbon where he continued his studies in the
National Conservatoire in Lisbon for another four rewarding years with
one the best composers and teachers in Portugal, Eurico Carrapatoso.
Under his guidance, Pedro got A+ classification every year, becoming one of the extremely rare students ever to achieve this score in the entire Conservatoire''s history (since 1835).
As a pianist he started with the Croatian teacher and musicologist,
Robert Andres, and then with the Portuguese teacher, Melina Rebelo. He
got an A in the final exam in Lisbon. Also Pedro was one of the very
few students to finish the eight years learning program adopted in
Portugal for musical theory and ear practice in just four.
Composing is an important part of Pedro''s life since he was ten years
old, when he started composing short musical pieces on the vintage
OctaMED program, a tracker for Amiga 500.
Side
by side with this classical learning process, Pedro continuously
learned Jazz Theory, Composition and Piano with the pianist Jorge
Borges and other jazz masters, like Pedro Moreira, , in the most famous
Portuguese Jazz School, "Hot Clube Portugal".
