Aside from my parents, I learned about music through the internet. My early years as a digital native was spent on learning how to play the guitar and strumming my favorite tunes. Equipped with patience, I learned music in an informal way through different channels and various people on the internet. As much as I remember those moments fondly, I know that learning music in that way is impractical and time consuming compared to studying in a music school. In 2018, I was admitted at the UST Conservatory of Music and took up Music Education. For the first time I studied music in a formal setting. There was a structure to the things that I had to study, and I met phenomenal teachers who made me learn about music much more than I ever could alone.

Since the pandemic happened, we had to shift into an online classroom setup. Teaching and communication can be clouded in this setup, and I strongly believe that music students should use supplementary learning materials to mitigate this problem. Instead of the students searching for learning materials on the internet where there is a risk of encountering unverified information, their teachers can provide their own educational videos.

This is why I thought of establishing Galinga video editing services. We aim to help teachers create effective learning materials for their students. Educators can focus on speaking or performing on the video. Galinga, on the other hand, edits the video, provides the texts, pictures, or even musical notations at the request of the teacher. I had access to unfiltered and unstructured internet information about music back then, and now I take the duty of helping teachers provide their students with a structured set of educational videos.
