From a young age, Pedro showed a keen interest in music, and his parents encouraged him to pursue his passion. Pedro began his musical training at the age of six, and he started with the piano. He quickly showed a natural talent for the instrument, and his parents decided to enroll him in a music school. Pedro's parents also encouraged him to learn other instruments, and he soon began to play the violin and the cello. As Pedro grew older, he became more and more passionate about music, and he decided to pursue a career as a classical musician.
