Teaching Philosophy
Music is one of the avenues where mind, body and soul meet as one. It is a very essential, often overlooked, part of health and wellness. I am fascinated with rhythm and tempo and how music goes beyond the walls of chronological time. Muscle memory plays a big part to achieve creativity and effectivity. In training the physicals the mind is sharpened, the soul is refreshed. As a teacher and musician, I aim for effectivity in both my students and myself. My ultimate goal for myself and my students is to play the song right and give the music the right amount of character, energy and other musical ingredients it needs to sound good and bring the music to life.
Musical Education
I have been in the music education and events industry for almost 20 years. I am a music educator (drum coach) and a performing drummer. I have completed many drum workshops, masterclasses, and specialised modules under Maestro Michael Alba, a top-session drummer, now USA-based drum educator. His programs really boosted my knowledge and skills both in teaching and performing. I am also well-trained and efficient in transcribing drum charts using Sibelius. I was connected to the following companies, to name a few: 1. Cebu Philharmonic Orchestra (Cebu City, Philippines), 2. Alba International Music Academy (Online program, Texas, USA based), 3. Michael Alba Drum Program for Kids & Teens (Online program, Philippines), 4. Huni School of Music (Cebu City, Philippines), 5. Rock Republic (previously known as Salonga School of Rock, Cebu City, Philippines).
Special Skills and Trainings
I have a Bachelor's degree in computer science and having the training of a techy computer guy incorporated into being a musician is a very useful combination in my music career. I am and have been making my own drum charts for almost 20 years for personal and teaching use, and I can boast into making the neatest, most organized and easy to read charts a drummer can read. I have also been a drummer and music director at church. I even provided Lead Sheets for the band. I was part of many bands growing up and was playing for many events, singing contests, and musical plays.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
