Perera, and then continued at the José Jacinto Cuevas school of music in his
hometown. From 1999 to 2005 he studied at the Faculty of Music of the Universidad

degrees at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, Austria, under the tutelage of
Eliot Fisk and Ricardo Gallén, where he also studied early music with Hans
Brüderl and contemporary music with Simone Fontanelli. He currently teaches
guitar as an assistant of Eliot Fisk at the Mozarteum University of Salzburg,
Austria and also as a guitar teacher at the School of Music in Freilassing,
