Dreamquest Talent Showcase and Karaoke 2013

It had been a successful show and the venue proved to be small for my students first talent showcase last 7th November 2013. N Thai Sing restaurant where we held our show was full! We did have a couple of people who wants to purchase tickets but we couldn't fit them in the venue hehehe. The tickets were sold out one month before the show! Big thanks to those who have been very patient with us on that night. 

There are a couple of people I would like to thank for being so supportive. First off, thank you to my amazing students, Angelique Goss, Danikka Vassallo, Trinity Young, Remalyn Burlat and Daniela Vassallo. You all made me very proud and the audience loved all your performances! 

To the parents, for your love and continued support to your children. You sure surprised me with a bouquet of roses at the end of the show. Thank you very much indeed!

Thank you Frankie Bundang and Violeta Bundang of Karaoke4U dot Com for providing us a fantastic sound!

To Emz Layco, owner of Masarap Breads and Cakes for celebrating your birthday with us. Those cupcakes were just delicious! I think it was one of the highlights on the night. 

Thank you Sam, owner of N Thai Sing Restaurant, Toukley!

To the family, friends and to all of you who came to witness the incredible talents of the Central Coast Dreamquest students, thank you for coming!

Last but not the least to Melissiah, founder of Dreamquest Singing Academy thank you so much for your endless support! 

God bless us all!

25th Fiesta Kultura Sydney 2013

What a lovely day it was! Daniela, Trinity and Danikka performed at Fairfield Showgrounds for the Filipino Fiesta Sydney last 7th October 2013. The three of them sang on two stages, lucky them! Big thanks to Manny Castillo, President of PASC (Philippine Australian Sports and Culture), Linda Alvarez Barnes and the rest of the officers and volunteers for looking after us. The girls had fun that's for sure ;) .

Maybe next time I will go there earlier so I can have a look at their awesome stalls ;) .

The 38th Central Coast Eisteddfod

Congratulations to one of my students Remalyn Burlat for receiving a Highly Commended Award at the Central Coast Eisteddfod this morning! I am proud of you and your attitude towards all these competitions is just wonderful! See you in your next performance.

First Contest Is Always Frightening

Three more students joined in talent quest this month, I am very proud of them! First contest is always frightening. So many things go into your mind, the "what if.." is a killer and I applaud them for the courage to go on stage. Big artist like Beyonce, Aretha Franklin, Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, Stevie Wonder and all great singers started just like any other beginners. The first step is very important and I am simply happy that they did it. 

Congratulations to Angelique Goss, Chloe McDonald and Remalyn Burlat for participating! I hope to see you all compete again ;) .

Remalyn, do you have a photo last Tuesday that we can share here?

God bless everyone!

Congratulations to Daniela for winning a special award. A 12 months  representation for acting and modelling work!

2011 and 2013 of Daniela

It is always a great feeling when your students win in a talent quest. Knowing you have done your job and at the same time thinking that we still have a long way to go, excites me.

Daniela amazes me with her hunger to learn more at a young age. Let me just share two videos of her singing. The first video was when she was 6 years and the second video was this year, she is 8 now.





The last video was when she won  last May 2013 during The Gosford Regional Show Talent Quest.

God bless us!

WINNER "Catch A Shooting Star 2013"

Another win from one of my students, Daniela Vassallo at The Gosford Regional Show "Catch A Shooting Star 2013". She had quite a long day last Saturday when she sang during the first heat. She made it through to the Grand Finals along with her sister and another student of Dreamquest Singing Academy, Danikka. Daniela's winning piece is a song from the musical Annie "Tomorrow" while Danikka did a song from Christina Aguilera "Beautiful". They both made me very proud! Congratulations to you both! More winnings this year please hehehe... 

Watch her perform!

The Videos

Three months ago, a gentleman watched some of my students compete for the "Gosford Got Talent 2013" show. He was a fan of them and had asked me if they are in YouTube. I told him to visit www.howtosing.com.au and check them from there. I was in a hurry and didn't realise that there was no videos of them in our school's website. To the gentleman if you are reading this, my apologies.

 Here they are, in case you couldn't find them in YouTube. Enjoy!

Trinity Young singing "Loving You" at Newcastle where she won in the "Reach for the Starz Performing Arts Expo 2012".
