Why doesn’t Regine Velasquez want to become a music teacher?
REGINE VELASQUEZ – The Asia’s Songbird admitted that she never considered establishing her own music school or becoming a music teacher.
In an interview, she was asked if she had plans to teach music professionally someday. “Baka ‘di na ‘yan kaya ng powers ko.” She explained, “I don’t picture myself as a teacher. I don’t want to end up just teaching nonsense to them. ‘Wag na lang.”
Regine stressed that even though she may not want to become a formal music teacher or open her music school, she is still open to providing advice to young artists who seek guidance on singing. She finds joy in sharing her experiences with them and believes it’s a positive and natural part of the interaction between seasoned and aspiring musicians. Despite not envisioning herself as a teacher, she appreciates the opportunity to help others navigate their musical journeys.
Reflecting on her 37 years in the music industry, she emphasized the importance of sharing her experiences. “In the 37 years I have been singing, what will I do with all those experiences? Will they just die with me? I might as well share my experiences with kids,” she added. The veteran singer expressed her hope that her words of wisdom would make the journey of aspiring artists a little less stressful.
Regine also shared common advice she often gives, emphasizing the significance of consistently showing up, especially to fans, regardless of the situation or challenges they may be facing. “That’s all they have to do. Whatever the state of their minds and hearts at the moment, whatever the quality of their voice is, they should just show up. It’s true what they say that ‘the show must go on.’ It really has to,” she shared.
According to Regine as per Inquirer.net, such advice is an integral part of the entertainment industry. “That’s what we do—we are entertainers,” she stated, adding, “I hope that I am able to say this often enough. You have to keep repeating yourself to them so that they will absorb what you’re saying.”
