the intention of doing it in a professional manner, afterstudying for a year,
he realized that he wanted to pursue it as his professional career. Carlos began
his formal education in 1986 when he enrolled to attend "Music High School"

become a professional musician. Once having completed that program he continued
his education by attending the "Fine Arts School" where he spent another
3 years and graduated with a Bachelors Degree In Fine Arts and the highest GPA
of his graduating class. During his last year at the University he started attending
a private school called Estudio de Arte Guitarristico (Guitar's Art Conservatory)

with various groups and ensembles; his experience playing different styles of
music include Classical Music, Chamber Music, Traditional Folk Music, Latin-American
Music, Andean Music, Spanish Music, Jazz, and Instrumental Music. Although he
performed playing different instruments, his forte has always been the Guitar.

popular ensembles, in a Duet that performed all over the country for all kinds
of audiences from the private recital theaters to the formal concert halls where
they were always complimented for their work. Carlos has also performed for T.V.
