“Melissa and I are 3 decades apart in age but her wisdom and experience as a voice teacher made me feel confident in her as a guide to supporting me in finding my singing voice. Singing is something I “gave up” at a young age after being told my singing wasn’t good enough. I believed that for decades until starting to work with Melissa in 2020. At the time, I believed I couldn’t hold a tune or find the right note. The weekly lessons with Melissa have been life-enhancing as I build my voice. Turns out I can hold a tune! To work with someone of Melissa’s reputation and caliber is a real gift.”

“If Melissa can teach me to sing, she can teach anyone! I get so nervous before every class but she makes it enjoyable. I absolutely love my lessons. I’m so impressed with how much I’ve learned in a short amount of time. I’m actually improving!!”

I've been singing for many years, but I want to take my voice to the next level because I’m heading to the recording studio this year. In a short amount of time, Melissa has helped me take giant steps in that direction. Another great thing about Melissa is that she’s very goal-oriented. When the lesson starts, we go to work. When the lesson ends, I’m amazed at how much I’ve learned. Finally, Melissa is very personable. She talks to me at my level and makes me laugh. Melissa is not my first vocal coach, but she is unquestionably the best!

“My lessons with Melissa have not only been incredibly helpful for my voice but also a lot of fun. She knows how to teach without being too serious or overbearing which was a nice change of pace! Especially since she has a Masters in opera, but you wouldn't guess it because she's so humble.”
