Grow an Octave Braver

Welcome to Octave

Three years in, Octave has become a home for musicians of every kind in Cebu City. Children learning their first instrument. Teens chasing a role in musical theater. Adults coming back to a piano they used to know. Our teachers are ABRSM-certified, actively performing, and committed to one idea above all: that good music starts with good habits, and good habits start with attitude.

Music You Grow Into

Octave was founded by Claresa Monceda and Alexandrea Alix as a passion project, born from a wish for more places in Cebu City to explore voice, instruments, and musical theater with real depth. We are a small school for curious beginners, returning learners, and everyone in between.

Our Services

Different ways to learn, the same care behind every lesson.

One-on-One Lessons

Private instruction for instruments and voice. Just you, your teacher, and a plan built around how you learn.

Group Lessons

Voice and musical theater classes for students who thrive alongside others. Close coaching, plenty of laughter, and the energy that only comes from making music together.

Focused sessions on a single skill, style, or topic. A good way to deepen your craft or try something outside your usual practice.
