About the Author

Pablo grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina. And although his professional career begun at the age of 7, by the time he turned 19 he couldn’t read a single note or follow a lead sheet. –He didn’t know what a quarter-note was-. At that age, he was left out without a job and his only hope to stay involved in music was to learn to sight-read and play on a cruise-ship orchestra. Without money for a tutor he had to come up with a method to make it happen and teach himself from scratch.
