My name is Carlos Mongrut. I was born in Peru and have been living in the United States of America since 1999. When I was 17 years old, I discovered my true vocation for music and decided to learn how to play the piano. In my childhood, I was part of the choir of my high school, played the accordion and wrote poetry. I registered to take piano lessons at a small music school I found on the local phone directory. After my first class with Pianist and Composer Aldo Guardia, my mentor and beloved friend, my life changed forever. He impressed me with his personality and amazing knowledge and talent! I waited for him at the end of the class (it was a dark and cold night of winter in Lima) and asked him to give me private lessons. He was kind enough to accept and once I learned how to play the piano with both hands, I brought him a draft of what would become my first composition in piano: Sensible Obra I. Since then, the direction of my instruction changed from formal piano learning to composition in piano.
We spent the next five years analyzing music theory, melody, harmony, rhythm, music structure, etc. We laughed, argued and enjoyed gourmet coffee, spent hours and hours going over compositions, lyrics; listening to Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninov and other amazing classical music composers. Then, I composed Sensible Obra II and III; followed by songs “Donde Estan” (“We Can Try” English Version), Tiempo Para Mi, Cerebro Hecho Mil and others. On the other hand, I became a member
