Melissa started teaching during her senior year of college when she took her first vocal pedagogy course. Teaching has been an important part of her schedule ever since.

I know that performance is an important part of learning an instrument so I offer bi-annual recitals as well as an opportunity to play at an annual festival for adjudication and to enter in competitions for cash awards and scholarships. I also believe that no student is too old to learn music! You can learn at any age, I am always looking to take on new students and share with them my love of music! Read More

I am certified through the UK schools - the Trinity college of music, and the Royal schools of music, London, in classical piano. I trained at St Annes high school and the Calcutta school of music, India, where I studied under the then principal Fauzia Marikar. That enabled me to develop a methodology that is structured, standardized and rigorous. I've taught piano for almost 5 years. I was an instructor at music and arts as well as other local music schools. Read More

Nothing is more enjoyable than seeing a music student climb the learning curve and self recognize and appreciate their progress other than, perhaps watching their passion grow over the long term as they successfully step into the performance phase and play a well practiced piece for their friends, family, peers, or others. Each student's lesson selection plan is always a collaborative agreement between the instructor and learner as well as the practice plan in terms of both frequency and repetition pattern. Read More

Enjoyment of music and the cultivation of creativity and self discipline are the primary goals behind my teaching philosophy. No student is the same, and therefore all of my lesson plans are crafted to support the pace and learning style of each individual student. I do not believe in criticizing a student. A warm environment full of encouragement and productive critique with facilitate further enjoyment of music and growth as a musician. Read More

My classes are structured into two parts: the first focuses on music theory, while the remainder is dedicated to playing the instrument. For beginner students, I typically use a combination of the James Bastien and Alfred's Basic methods during theory sessions. Depending on the student's chosen instrument, I supplement these lessons with additional practice materials tailored to their instrument. For adult students, I tailor lessons based on their personal interests, ensuring that the learning experience remains engaging, enjoyable, and aligned with their musical goals. Read More

For those who are beginning on their horns, I will be using the Essential Elements book. Within this books starts off with the basic whole notes and half notes than moves to quarter notes. Every other page adds a new note to their repertoire. For those who have been on their horns, I will be using the 2nd/3rd Essential Elements book. Those who have no trouble with those books, I will be introducing them to solo works and adding some theory in there for they can understand the basics of music and what comes with it. Read More
Instruments: Flute
When will I start to see results?
You may start to see results as early as a few weeks after your child's first private lesson. While great teachers can help students accomplish a lot during their private lesson time, the student's diligent practice work outside of lessons will increase the rate at which they are improving on their instrument of choice. At the beginning of your child's musical journey, each lesson will revolve around learning fundamentals on their instrument (i.e. how to form a proper embouchure, how to hold the flute with the proper hand position, where to place their fingers on the keys, etc.). As they learn these skills, you will begin to hear them playing notes, then scales, then a simple and recognizable melody. After they master the fundamentals, they will be able to play more challenging repertoire and conquer more challenging scale and arpeggio exercises. The potential of what your student is able to do on the flute is limitless with consistent private lessons!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Having a concrete plan of what you would like to accomplish in each practice session is essential. I advise my students to keep a "to-do" list on or near their music stand during each practice session with a breakdown of the repertoire they want to work on, which sections are giving them difficulty, and then a time limit for how long they intend to practice each session. This helps to keep you on track so that you can practice more efficiently in less time. I also advise my students not to just run through large sections of their repertoire or always play the sections that they do really well, instead focus on practicing the things that challenge them so that they can play these sections with ease.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is passionate about music and interested in learning more about the instrument they are playing, private lessons are a great way to allow them to explore their passion with the guidance of an experienced mentor. Private lessons can be started at any age and any ability, and with the right teacher your child will experience joy in learning more about and improving on the instrument of their choice. Learning a musical instrument can benefit your child in so many different ways, including improving their problem solving skills, their math skills, and allowing them to creatively and freely express themselves through playing music.
