Teaching Philosophy
Learning and unlearning. For me, learning how to play the flute is like learning a new language or discovering a voice you never knew you had. I teach fundamentals focused heavily on mind, body and instrument connection. To help bring awareness to positive habits that will help my students achieve their goals. I strive to set an environment where the learning experience is enjoyable, and moments of tension and negativity cannot foster. My past teachers created a fun, caring and safe environment which helped me be the Musician and Teacher I am today, and I strive to continue this tradition. I recognize that every student is different, be it particular interests and passions, learning styles, or commitment levels. My goal is to make the lessons fun, provide a safe and inspiring environment, and celebrate music.

Special Skills and Trainings
My family and I moved to Canada when he was 11, from the Philippines. I started playing the flute when I was in the 7th grade, in my middle school band program. After playing for a couple of months, my band teacher suggested that I would audition for the provincial honour band, and I got in. This experience made me want to continue, and improve on my instrument. I have performed with many ensembles, such as the Manitoba Honour Bands, Winnipeg Youth Orchestras, Winnipeg Wind Endsemble, University of Manitoba Wind ensemble, University of Manitoba Symphony Orchestra and University of Toronto Wind Ensemble/Orchestra. I also participated in various competitions such as the Winnipeg Music Festival, the Syrinx flute festival where I won awards and scholarships, and the University of Manitoba Concerto competition where I performed as a soloist with the University Symphony orchestra.

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!
