Music First steps...

at first...
I started music at the age of 9. I first attended a music school around the corner in my hometown in the Philippines. From there, I discovered that I have passion for music & decided to continue further with the endless support of my parents... I joined several Yamaha Electone competition & my best achievement was in 1985 where I won the 3rd place for the Yamaha Electone Festival Region III. OK, I wasn't 1st, but it was the pride & pleasure which counts!

Joining a band...

In 1994, I joined a 7 piece band & tried my luck abroad. My band played in numerous hotels all over Malaysia... From 7 piece went down to a 3 piece band & finally into a very solid "2" in 1996 which consist of non-other than my wonderful husband, Alain, & me of course... He's not a musician but he's got the ears. He is my motivator, my inspiration & my music editor.

Introduction to ABRSM / Jazz

City Music & CP Music schools introduced me to Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) in 2005. I succeeded both: the Grade 8 Classical piano & the Jazz 5 exams on the same year! Thanks to my classical piano teacher, DORIS & to my mentor Mr Victor PILLAY.

As Japan is known to be the country for musical instruments, I took the opportunity to grow my knowledge in music. I am now attending jazz lessons under Mr Nobuta Kazuo, a famous Composer/Arranger here in Tokyo.
Drop by at Yamaha Music Square Dogenzaka in the heart of Shibuya if you have an opportunity!
