With over 12 years of experience teaching Music and 18 years of formal training as a classical singer, I am Krissan Tan, your singing tutor for personalized lessons.

I also finished my Bachelor's Degree at the Santa Isabel College in Manila in 2018 and now pursuing my Master's Degree at the University of the Philippines, Diliman. I am a grand prize winner of various vocal competitions in my country and abroad. I am a music teacher and an active performing artist in our cultural center. I specialize in Classical Music but I can also teach Pop, Jazz, and more, offering expert singing lessons for students of all levels. From beginners to advanced vocalists, I tailor each session to focus on your needs, whether it's mastering harmony or improving pitch. I also teach ear training, music theory, basic piano, aside from healthy vocal training, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience.
