Hello! My name is Sharon. Thank you for dropping by!
I am a music teacher currently based in Brunei Darussalam. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Performance, cum laude, from the University of the Philippines. I have 21 years of teaching experience both in the classroom and in individual settings. Alongside teaching and performing, I handle a choir and do voice coaching for local musical theatre productions, such as:
Beauty and the Beast (2020) Jerudong International School
Happily Ever After: Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies & Disney’s Aladdin Jr. (2019) Jerudong International School
The Sound of Music (2018) JIS Arts Centre (Jerudong International School)
Peter Pan (2018) JIS Arts Centre (Jerudong International School)
Musical Mania (2017) JIS Arts Centre (Relentless Studios)

Les Miserables (2015) JIS Arts Centre (Jerudong International School)
Mary Poppins (2015) Jerudong Park Amphitheatre (Relentless Studios)
As a teacher, parent and student (it’s lifelong learning for me!), I have experienced the immediate benefits of learning music, and learning ‘other things’ (i.e. Maths, Social Skills, etc) through music. For instance, when my son could not remember how to spell his name, we put the letters to a catchy tune, and within seconds, he has memorised it!
Music in itself heals the soul. When I’m tired, stressed out or just generally feeling unwell, I’d sing my heart out – and guess what, most of the time I don’t need any pain-killers or medication! I’m sure many of you have experienced this, too! There’s something about music that just lifts us up and makes us feel better.
Apart from music, I have great interest in anything related to health and wellness, and spend whatever time I can on reading, researching and trying out ways to live healthier and happier. Health and music are so closely related. Needless to say, athletes, musicians, teachers – in fact, everyone – needs to be in good health in order to perform their best.
