The beginnings…
When I was 4, I attended my cousin’s recital and instantly fell in love with the violin.
I decided to become a musician around the age of 13 when I got to perform for a school play and realized that I enjoyed making music.
I have a bachelor’s degree in violin performance from the University of the Philippines. I have performed in numerous concerts and festivals in the Philippines as well as abroad.
My favorite was getting to perform in New York with the World Civic Orchestra.
Though the bulk of my experience comes from the classical genre, playing pop and modern music gave me the freedom to experiment.
Classical gave me structure while pop taught me to embrace my own sound.

Why I Do What I Do |
Being a musician is rewarding but it comes with a lot of its own challenges.
Growing up, I thought that it was normal to be in pain while playing the violin because no one liked to talk about it. I have experienced being in so much pain my arm would go numb after a long day at rehearsals.
I am currently pursuing an associate’s degree for Physical Therapy Assistant in Stanbridge so that I can incorporate pain management and injury prevention in my teaching philosophy.
Making music is almost magical and I love seeing my students light up when they start creating music. My experiences and passion for music shaped my philosophy to focus on teaching relevant and practical music education.
