I could not be more proud of my student Asa! He has blown me away with this song that he composed, performed, recorded, and released. So proud of him! Although he was my piano student for 7 years until he went off to college, he had always loved Christian rap and I anxiously awaited the day he would record and release something ... and here it is!!! Wahoo!!! Please give it a listen, and like and follow his Instagram to support his efforts!

I have a special place in my heart for adult students. It is such a joy to see an adult -- in the midst of their busy lives--determined to learn (or relearn) an instrument. Learning an instrument as an adult provides a level of fulfillment that can be hard to find. If you are on the fence about lessons, I encourage you to call me and ask questions about what is holding you back. The way I work with adults is different than the way I work with children. You just might find out that what is holding you back, or what held you back when you were a child, doesn't have to be an issue anymore!

PRIVATE LESSONS ON PIANO OR VOICE

We offer a 20% discount for adult students who can schedule lessons before 2:30 pm.

STUDIO CALENDAR:

Our studio is closed for the following major holidays. We do stay open throughout the summer!

-Spring Break (One week, dates correspond with Denton/Aubrey/Little Elm ISD's Spring Breaks)

What do piano lessons look like?

-Lessons are held once per week, except during studio closures for major school holidays (lessons do continue through the summer though).

-Students will be given assignments each week. These assignments are in the form of songs, some exercises, and a workbook to help in understanding. The success (and consequently, enjoyment) of the lessons depends on the effort the student puts into lessons. Private Lessons shouldn't be started until the student and parent can commit to practicing their instrument 5 days each week, about 10-25 minutes each day (length of practice sessions depend on level and age of student).

-I work with ages 5 through adult (I will work with a 4-year-old who meets minimum qualifications. Please contact me if you are interested in lessons for a 4-year-old child).

-Piano Students will need a piano or keyboard at home to use for practice. A piano/keyboard must be obtained before starting lessons.

-Students commit to one calendar month at a time.

Melodie has been teaching piano and voice lessons for over 20 years. She is a degreed musician and has been involved in the performing arts since the age of five. Not only has she trained some pretty amazing students, she has also trained hundreds of musicians in the art of teaching lessons.

Melodie has trained with world-renown vocal coach, and vocal coach to the stars, Roger Love. While she gained much knowledge and skill at the University level, it was her work with Roger Love that helped her find her best voice and gave her the skills and knowledge to help others in their quest to better both their speaking voice and singing voice.

​Melodie’s current and former students have gone on to major in music at the University level (one student at an Ivy League Music School!); receive call-back auditions for Broadway shows; participate in and place in local, regional and national competitions; join and lead bands both in the educational and entertainment settings; perform major roles and lead roles in musicals and plays throughout the DFW area and beyond; develop a love and appreciation of performing; conquer stage fright; and most importantly, gain the skills and desire to make music a life-long enjoyment. Melodie's teaching experience includes:
* Private music instructor for over 20 years for ages two through adult on piano, voice, and a variety of other instruments.
* Choir Instructor for ages 8-18.
* Musical Theater Director for ages 5-18, having directed musicals with casts of up to 100 students!
* General Classroom Music Teacher for ages 3-18.
* Pre-K Music and Piano Class Instructor.
​* Band Director for elementary-, middle- and high-school students.
* Dance Instructor for ages 3-adult

In addition to her varied teaching experience, Melodie has a wide range of group and solo performance experience, having performed solos for groups as large as 2000 people, holding lead roles in musical productions, and accompanying instrumentalists and singers from soloists to large choirs.

​In 2006, Melodie created a training program for music teachers, and has since provided training for hundreds of music teachers across the country.

Most importantly, Melodie is a true teacher at heart. It is this love of teaching that gives her the ability to reach a variety of learning styles and goals.

Why private lessons? With a student to teacher ratio of 1:1, private lessons are the most effective and individualized lesson choice. Curriculum is customized to the individual student: we'll never be moving "too fast" or "too slow" for the student. Each lesson is tailored to meet the goals and progress of the individual student. You'll notice faster progress, which promotes long-term enjoyment!
