At this conservatoire he had the opportunity to study classical piano, harpsichord, and composition with renowned musicians of the Brazilian scene, they included the pianists Leila Mutanen and Marina Brandão, the harpsichordist Alessandro Santoro and the composer Rodrigo Lima. Pedro was recognized for passionate performances at recitals and exams and for compositions that guaranteed him invitations by the teachers to take part on more advanced classes. He also received mentoring from the worldly renowned concert pianist Alvaro Siviero.
