The Crew

Meet our passionate, experienced instructors dedicated to guiding your musical journey at Harana Music Academy! 🎶

Charise Delson

Growing up in a musical household, I developed a passion for making music with others. I currently hold a Master’s degree in Music Education from Centro Escolar University and a diploma in Music Theatre Performance from MacEwan University. Outside of teaching, I create my own compositions for piano, choir, and orchestra. I’d love to learn music together with you, whether it’s piano, ukulele, or singing!

Francis Kenneth Go

Francis graduated from the University of the Immaculate Conception with a degree in Music Education while taking a music extension program in St. Scholastica Music Conservatory for Double bass under the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra and PREDIS (Philippine Research for Developing Instrumental Soloist).
He is now playing as the lead Alto saxophonist in the Rocky Jazz String Orchestra in Edmonton.

Yevgeniya Tsybulska

“I’ve been teaching violin & music theory for over 10 years. I teach both children & adult students. I started my music journey at a young age, learning piano, viola, and violin. I believe each student learns differently, hence I adjust my teaching accordingly to each student’s interest.”

Marcus Mowat

“I am musician of 22 years specializing in teaching guitar, bass, ukulele, and music composition, having played in several rock bands in Halifax, NS to Hamilton, and Toronto, ON. I write my own songs, culminating in 6 albums, demos, and produced singles.”

Dann Ria

“Student’s interest matter to me. They will learn to play all the songs they love. I have over 22 years of experience in Music Teaching & Performance. I teach piano, voice, guitar, ukulele, music & movement, and students with special needs.”

Jacqueline Hernandez

“My aim as a music teacher is to not only teach musical skills but also to ignite a lifelong passion for music, fostering creativity, self-expression, and a sense of achievement in each of my student. I’m an experienced voice instructor with 15 years of expertise teaching all genres, and holding MMus in Voice Performance from The University of Alberta.”

Emily Neufeld

“My philosophy is to always teach my students what they want to accomplish & achieve. I’ve been playing piano for 18 years and teaching piano for 3. I teach all genres from contemporary to classical to the RCM methodology.”

Jaden Manuel

“My goal for my students is for them to be able to communicate with people through music. My specialty is Saxophone, but I also teach elementary brass instruments, beginner piano, beginner/intermediate guitar and ukulele. I believe that anyone can achieve what they want when they put in the work and effort in their goals, while still having fun.”

Justin Haimila

“I’m a music lover from a family of musicians. My childhood was filled with my family; jamming around the Livingroom & around campfires. For me, there is nothing more beautiful than a group of people collaborating to create music. I’ve been over 15 years in the music industry. I teach guitar, bass, music theory. Playing music is fun. And I believe learning it should be just as fun. Your goal, my goal.”
