About Us
FROM THE LOVE FOR KIDS, THE PASSION FOR MUSIC TO HUMBLE BEGINNINGS.
A Short Story.
Kids are the sweetest people on earth. They are delicate yet wonderful children. They are small yet have big innocent heart. They are loved. This is how the musician couple Dhinz & Shiela describe children. They play music for people. They were classmates in Music college.They love music and kids! That is why they gave birth to a new school for the arts especially for the kids.
Besides offering music lessons in Metro Manila, they founded the vocal and string group, the 'Sweet Blends Music Ensemble'. They are truly talented musicians who have been performing for events especially weddings since 2008. Shiela, having that great love for kids aimed to build a preschool music program. She dared to dream it even if the lack of capital is their biggest challenge. Little by little they bought the needed instruments and materials for a school. The couple found their current home convertible to school. They loved the idea and the process of making a homey school for the kids. They sufficed it with necessary educational instruments. They are proud to have upright pianos, violins, cello, guitars and Orff percussion instruments and some educational toys in the classroom. Most of all, they are professional performing musicians and teachers. This what makes them competitive from other preschool music classes in the Metro.
Dhinz and Shiela have been tandem for music and business for a decade. They dream of making the school big and beautiful from starting small on their own first. But to get there they should start first from what tangible things they can offer and from where they are. But what they can do with their skills and experiences in honing the students are big enough to share now. For them, a beautiful classroom is where kids and adults lights it up with smiles and laughters. What matters most are the great skills they have that are more compelling when combined and shared to people. Kids and adults shall truly have fun while they learn.
Their school is now on it's third year and they continue to innovate and grow. Their love for kids, the passion and talent for the arts has been always their core. Most of all, they shall rock the nation with their advocacy.
