Elian Pagalilawan is a talented Otautahi-based performer, musician, and father with a wealth of experience in the arts. With a Classical Performance degree, a Diploma in Musical Theatre, and a degree in Creativity, Elian brings a rich and diverse musical background to everything he does.

Together with his wife, Jen, they have decided to create a unique music class designed to introduce babies to a variety of musical instruments that they may not otherwise encounter in their everyday lives. This innovative class aims to foster early musical appreciation and stimulate cognitive development by exposing little ones to different sounds, rhythms, and textures from a young age.

Elian and Jen’s approach to teaching is influenced not only by their professional expertise but also by their experience as parents. They are passionate about creating a warm, welcoming environment where families can bond over music and creativity, laying the foundation for a lifelong love of sound and exploration.
