I study at the University of Évora with a low range borrowed flute, with many years of wear. With this campaign, I intend to raise funds for the acquisition of my own instrument.
My name is Rui Caeiro and I am a student in the Flute class of teacher Monika Streitová, at the University of Évora.
I never had a personal flute. I have been doing my studies with a Yamaha 371 Flute over 16 years old, from the SFUM “Os Amarelos”.
I have never been able to acquire a flute, as I come from a single-parent family, where resources are very finite. My mother died of cancer when I was just 14 years old and I discovered early on how difficult life is. I practically feel that I didn't have a teenager and that I soon had to learn to do a little bit of everything to help at home, both at home and at subsistence level. That is why I have always taken all the achievements I have achieved very seriously, being the most proud thing for me to enter the University, even after my life has turned 180 degrees.
My mother died when I was going to move to the 6th grade of conservatory. As the pursuit of my artistic studies implied living in Beja, as in Moura (my homeland) there was no secondary in Music, I ended up giving up the idea of going, having stayed in Moura in the Science and Technology course, to stay closer to remaining family.
Even so, I struggled and managed to be a student of school merit, finishing high school with an average of 17 points. However, I always felt a voice within me that led me to music. So, against all adversities, I resorted to the help of my former Flute Teacher with free course classes, and to some classes with teacher Monika, having done tests after 4 months for the University, which I managed to enter. my faith in God and with a lot of work and focus I managed to achieve the dream: enter the music degree.
I have prolonged the life of my borrowed Flute, I arrange something here and there, but the Flute does not give enough answer anymore, because it is really in very bad condition. The SFUM "Os Amarelos" has no other replacement instrument to lend me, so it is urgent to raise funds to acquire a Flute for me. The instruments that have the best cost benefit are around 3000 € and have features that allow me to improve my performance and guarantee its longevity.
I never had a personal instrument and unfortunately I do not have the possibility to bear these costs, so I ask for your help to be able to acquire my first instrument and continue my musical studies.
