Pedro Macedo Camacho started learning composition with the talented Argentine maestro and composer
Roberto Pérez in his home city's Conservatoire and Arts School.After three years he moved to
Lisbon where he continued his studies in the National Conservatoire 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 the only student ever to achieve this score.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 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 Amigas 500.
Side by side with this classical learning process, Pedro continuously started learning Jazz Theory, Composition and Piano with the pianist
Jorge Borges and, more recently, in the most famous Portuguese Jazz School, "Hot Clube Portugal ".Games
