    A graduate of the PWU School of Music, Perfecto studied with one of the Philippines' best guitar pedagogues, Maestro Jose Valdez, and has since augmented his guitar studies through lessons and masterclasses taught by some of the world's best guitarists and teachers: Angelito Agcaoili, Michael Dadap, Paul Galbraith, Tilman Hoppstock, Scott Kritzer, Jonathan Leathwood, Janet Marlow, Jorge Orozco and James Smith. Along with solo guitar performances, Perfecto has performed with the Metro Manila Community Orchestra and the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, both as a concerto soloist and texture accompanist. He is a founding member of the Kasilag Guitar Quartet, whose 2004 debut CD has received critical acclaim from Japan's Gendai Guitar Magazine and the Guitar Foundation of America's Soundboard Magazine. Perfecto De Castro's solo 10 String Guitar CD, "A Journey through Ten Strings", features pieces from his programmes; from Baroque Lute Music to Philippine Art Songs and Contemporary Ethnic Music. The CD also includes the world premiere recording of Rohan Leach's "Sylph Dance", a suite written for 10 String Guitar and dedicated to Perfecto De Castro.
