WALTER C. SANCHEZ is one of twelve in his family to come to the United States of America and take residence in California.
He was exposed to all kinds of music at an early age. His first piano lessons began when he was 13 years old, but ended when he later moved to Southern California.
After returning to San Francisco, he decided to pursue his first love - to continue with his piano study and to expand his musical knowledge after graduating from high school. He majored in Music at San Francisco State University.
Walter C. Sanchez has written compositions for many different instruments. He has over 40 compositions in different styles from classical, to jazz, to new age, to easy listening.

Trouble In Paradise - The meeting with other composers, deciding what instrumentation should be used for a new piece, inspired the composer to write the score “Kasamahan. He said that the five composers he met with on occasion for ideas, wanted to put a concert together. Something simple and not too complicated to play and the only limitation was that the composers played the following instruments: flute, clarinet, percussion (shaker, triangle, and claves), piano and accordion. He took the challenge and came up with the "Kasamahan". Mabilis Ang Takbo (Run Faster), Naiwanan (Left Behind), Takbong Mabilis (Faster, Run) and Kaming Lahat (All of Use), inspired the composers to write them for his family. Anytime of the year the composer's family gets together for a party, but somehow, someone is always leading the party as if commanding to run faster (Mabilis Ang Takbo). At the same time one never fails to be left behind (Naiwanan). Then someone else starts a new conversation and takes over the previous leader as if being coerced to run faster, saying "Faster, Run" (Takbong Mabilis). As the party comes to a close everyone is taking at the same time, repeating everything that was said in "Kaming Lahat". Life as we know is never perfect there is always "Trouble in Paradise".
The composer uses different instruments to show different feelings and emotions. The combination of different instruments fuses the whole CD together into a coherent, easy listening, well balanced and interesting CD to add to your collection.
