Hi, welcome to my blog!
I’m Camila Valério, a classically trained pianist and piano teacher who loves to draw.
Here, I’ll be sharing activities aimed at nurturing creativity, encouraging experimentation, and fostering a positive and healthy approach to music and music education.
Reflecting on my musical journey and those of fellow pianists, certain flaws often come to light. They range from a lack of proper technical foundations during the initial years, limited exploration of improvisation and composition, to the prioritization of an unnecessary competitiveness which usually ends up being counterproductive.
As a musician, I believe that music, above all, allow us to connect with ourselves, others, and the world around us. I’ve never felt more alive and connected than when playing the piano or listening to live orchestras. Everyone – regardless of their career aspirations – should be able to experience this. More than making music a competition, we should all have the chance to incorporate it into our lives for well being, fulfillment and creativity.
