Music Lessons by Educator from Ignatian Institute - Composition, Theory, Performance

Music has been an integral part of my life from a very young age. Growing up, it was more than just a hobby it was my way of expressing myself, my joy, and even my challenges. After my university years, I had the incredible opportunity to formally study music in a modular setup specifically designed for church musicians, which deepened my understanding and passion for music in ways I never expected. Now, I have the privilege of sharing that passion with others. I teach a variety of musical instruments guitar, keyboard, flute, ukulele, bass, and voice and work with different choir groups, not only in our city but also in various regions across the Philippines. Every lesson I teach is not just about learning music; it’s about creating a connection, expressing emotions, and discovering the beauty in every note we play or sing. For me, music isn’t just something I do it’s something that shapes who I am, and I’m excited to share this journey with all of you! Since 2013 I am teaching guitar, keyboad/piano, ukelele, flute recorder, voice and solfege. Music has been an integral part of my life, and I am dedicated to sharing this passion. Together, we will explore various instruments and develop your skills, fostering a deep appreciation for music that will last a lifetime.

My teaching methodology is rooted in a lifelong passion for music, which has served as both a personal outlet and a profound means of connection. Since 2013, I have been teaching guitar, keyboard/piano, ukulele, flute recorder, voice, and solfege, using a modular approach that adapts to each learner’s pace and context. I believe music is not merely a subject to be learned but an experience to be lived one that nurtures emotional expression, personal growth, and a deep appreciation for beauty. My lessons are designed to be holistic, combining technical mastery with emotional depth. I emphasize the expressive nature of music, guiding students to interpret and feel every note they play or sing. Having worked with choir groups across various regions in the Philippines, I also value community-based learning, encouraging collaboration and shared musical experiences. I integrate a balance of structured exercises, ear training, creative exploration, and performance opportunities to develop both skill and confidence. Ultimately, my goal is to inspire students to view music as a lifelong companion—one that enriches their identity and empowers them to communicate in ways words cannot. Through this journey, we do not just make music; we make meaning, connection, and lasting joy.
