Teaching Philosophy
Music builds foundation for community. I believe music brings people together and inspires us to be ourselves. Music is a way of expressions and influences our everyday lives. Whether you're listen to music or you are a performer, music is engages everyone in many ways. From dancing with no care in the world, to singing your heart out at a concert, music is an important part of human connection. When teaching my students, I build a strong musical foundation with them which allows them to find their voice and express how they feel. I try to take a facilitator approach and act as a guide for my students to support them in reaching their own goals. Music should be a way of expressing yourself and how you connect with your communities.
Musical Education
I have a Bachelor's of Music degree from Wilfrid Laurier University and studied community music which included various solo and group performances. At the age of six, I studied piano privately and have RCM training. My teacher studied classical piano and finished a university degree in piano performance. She has received exceptional rewards and is the founder of the Philippine Choral Society of Mississauga (PCSM). I studied piano with her and became a part of the PCSM choir as a child. In addition, I studied at Cawthra Park Secondary school as a piano major in their arts program. Through this program I developed piano and music skills outside of the classical genre with other music styles such as jazz, broadway, pop, and hiphop. I was also a part of the chamber choir at Cawthra park and performed with various venues and musicians such as cirque de sole and the Rolling Stones.

Special Skills and Trainings
This past year 2022, I had the opportunity to teach abroad. I taught both English and music to children ages 4-9. This experience has helped me understand children on a deeper level. Being able to connect with them is an important step into education. I have also competed professionally in beatboxing. I made it to the top 16 beatboxers in Canada and competed on a national level. I learned about the possibilities of the human voice as well as diversity in music. These experiences have shaped me to be a better musician and a better teacher. It also helped me realize I have a passion for inspiring the youth.

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!
