My music education

My name is Ma. Victoria Sanchez.
I grew up in Manila,Philippines and studying Music Education to follow my dreams of becoming a Professional Music Teacher.

I started playing Guitar and Piano since 9years old. In the year 2003 I begun to performed with a Band or solo artist in wedding and birthday events.

In 2015 I volunteered in our school to teach guitar to Special Child (Autism),to give them a chance to explore ,learn and helping them to create the talent that they have. While teaching them I learned that disability is not a hindrance to learning in playing musical instruments.Seeing them progress and grow as musicians and how changes them as human beings. They become more self-confident,more self-disciplined and they develop a good work ethic ,not only learning to play guitar but in many other aspects of their lives as well.
Learning playing musical instruments and understand music,changes the way of a person looks at the world and possibly how the world looks at them.Knowing that I had something to do with that ,brings me great pleasure.

All of these amazing opportunities and experienced I have had the honor of being a part of , would not be possible without my family and friends. They have gotten me where I am today and continue to give me the best support I could ask for.
My parents are very hardworking and they have done everything they can to get my music education at this prestigious music school. My father is a carpenter and he also sells firewood in public while my mother is a rosary maker they only earned $500 per year and it's not enough to support my music education.

I have 3 years more left studying Music Education at New Era University here in the Philippines. I am now in my 2nd year in college and plan to graduate in May 2019. My tuition fee per year cost $5,000 including my food, school uniform, school supplies,books, and transportation cost going to school.

I have to raise $15,000 to be able to continue my music education If I don’t raise enough money I will not be able to finish my 3years in New Era University.

I know that you have a generous heart helping ordinary people like me. All of the funds that you will contribute will go for a good cause.
Thank you so much for the support and God bless you.
