Testimonials
“Melissa is an incredible teacher and a devoted mentor to her students. She has created a safe space which allows her to push me as a musician. Her knowledge, talent, and passion for voice study have inspired me to work hard and pursue my own musical career.”
Maya Hilten, soprano
Melissa’s ability to tailor her teaching not merely to my voice, but where my voice is on a given day always impresses me. Her holistic style of teaching is as motivating as it is fruitful: she’s brought me many opportunities to sing that grow my artistry and enriches my love of music. I’m so grateful for the vocal technique and foreign language skills we’ve built together. She’s given my voice access to so much more wonderful music!
