Second Brain

I am Elisa Brodbeck and currently, I am seventeen years old. I am originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where I lived until the end of June 2021. I am extremely passionate about music since I can remember. By the time I was around 7/8 years old, my parents searched for a place for me to apply this interest. They found the “CCOSB”, which is a free translation, stands for Children Choir of the Brazilian Symphonic Orchestra. There I learned how to sing and how to sing in public with technique and the bases of music theory. When I was around 10/11 the choir was shut down for internal reasons at the symphonic orchestra and my maestro from the children’s choir, who was also a professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro invited me to join the Youth choir from UNIRIO where I participated until the pandemic started and the weekly encounters weren’t possible anymore. There I could get more experience singing pieces of up to 6 voices parts and have the opportunity to perform In important places from Rio.
During the time I stayed on the choirs, I start learning the ukulele and acoustic guitar by myself, mostly to accompany my singing and record song I enjoyed on my Instagram, either playing along or with a instrumental background. And in 2019, on my birthday, my parents gave me a keyboard as a gift and I’ve been learning by myself since.
Once I moved to Luxembourg, at the summer of 2021, I enrolled at the International School of Differdange and started taking music classes there, where I could learn more about music production and the Garage Band software. This year I’m starting the music production club, I keep having my music classes in school and joined the École de Musique de Hesperange, where I’m investing in music theory and singing lessons, each one once a week. So I can have a better understanding of singing techniques and a broader knowledge of theory, developing more domains for composing and reading music.
