Hi. My name is Melissa. I am passionate about guiding and inspiring students to become confident musicians and performers. With over 11 years of teaching experience, a bachelor's degree in music, and 35 years of personal and collaborative study, I bring expertise and enthusiasm to every lesson. As a skilled musician proficient in four instruments, I aim to create an encouraging and supportive environment where you can unlock your potential, overcome challenges, and discover the joy of music. Whether you are just starting your musical journey or looking to refine your skills, I am here to help you achieve your goals and grow as a musician. Along with my teaching, I have written an instructional guitar method book on guitar designed for beginner to intermediate students, featuring all original pieces. This unique resource offers a creative and accessible approach for new guitarists to develop their skills and build their confidence.

Students (Parents for younger students) will need to register for a free MusicTeacherNotes account. If you are a current student of mine at Wooly Notes Music Studio and haven't registered your MusicTeacherNotes account, please click the orange button below. You will use the studio code (KPQJB) to connect your family account to my teacher account.
MusicTeacherNotes is free for students. They have an upgradable option available, called the Gold Plan, but upgrading is not required. I can manage our music lessons whether you use their free account or their Gold account.
MusicTeacherNotes helps music teachers manage their students and helps students learn music faster. By empowering parents and students to get much more out of private music lessons, learning music becomes a better experience for everyone.
