Audrey Agustin

Student, Musician, and Teacher in Quezon City, Philippines

Hi everyone! I am Audrey, a twenty-year-old aspiring pianist and teacher currently living in Quezon City, Philippines. Being surrounded by it ever since I was young has significantly influenced my interests in life.

I love the arts industry, but music has been my saving grace. An impact that never fails. As Modest Mouse said, "Music is to the soul what words are to the mind," I agree that music is an abstract art that can reach an audience's soul. The power music holds has fascinated me, leading me to where I am today and pushing me into the music industry.

Having tried to learn different instruments, I enjoyed piano the most, significantly, since I grew up watching Disney, Barbie, Studio Ghibli films, musicals, anime, and so much more! With all of those combined, I wanted to play the music that has helped me throughout my life and share this magical feeling I get with others. With that, I have chosen to teach piano on the side as well so I can have an opportunity to share music and pique their interest.

My passion for piano and love for arts has resonated with a quote from Van Cliburn: "Playing the piano is like telling a story with your fingers, painting pictures of sound for the listener to experience." Being able to create an image without having to draw is an example of how I want to make music that reaches the soul, and the piano can be a good step towards a great foundation.
