Student, Musician, and Teacher in Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines

Hi there! I'm Christine, an active and aspiring classical pianist and teacher from Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines.

Music has always been a passion of mine since I was 7 years old when my parents started enrolling me in formal piano lessons. At an early age, I've been exposed to the works of Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, and many more of the great composers that have blessed our ears with their music. I also like listening to music of Broadway, Disney, Studio Ghibli, HoYoverse, and more!

When I was 12 years old, I was accepted to be a student of the Philippine High School for the Arts, a school that encourages young aspiring students to embrace and nurture the artist within them in fields like music, dance, theater arts, visual arts, and creative writing. This eventually led me to continue and love my musical journey as a pianist where I pursued my studies in St. Scholastica's College, Manila for senior high school.

Now, I am a college student of the University of Santo Tomas Conservatory of Music taking up my Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance under the tutelage of Asst. Prof. Anthony Say.

I've always believed that music can make a permanent impact in everyone's lives with its beauty and somewhat unexplainable connection it has with our hearts. We find our inner child through it. Once it makes its way to your soul, you can't get rid of it. Trust me when I say that I can't even imagine myself not being in the music industry.

We all have our own narrative so my goal as a musician is to help other aspiring musicians reach their dreams because those dreams are the ones worth obtaining. I'm hoping to serve as an inspiration and be a guide whether it be as a piano teacher or as a performer. Anyone can be a musician and if you'll let me, I'm excited to be part of your own musical journey.
