About Melissa

I believe that learning music is built upon a strong relationship between teacher and student. This relationship involves good communication, honesty, open mindedness, and most importantly the desire to LEARN and have FUN. I approach teaching music by knowing and understanding the student's musical goals, and teaching fundamentals, theory, and technique through the styles of music that the student wants to learn. For beginners, I tend to teach basic technique through simple songs to get the student playing music as quickly as possible.

*** Bio ***

Melissa is an Orlando native and graduated from the Orange County Public School system. Since joining the staff at a local Fine Arts Magnet public school in 2005, she has written a Music Theory and Composition curriculum, started Piano and Guitar programs, expanded the Band program, and was recognized as teacher of the year. Melissa is a graduate of the University of Central Florida, where she earned two music scholarships and earned a Bachelor degree in Music Education. She also holds a Music K-12 Certification from the Florida Department of Education. Not only is Melissa a dedicated music educator, she also performs regularly with the Southern Winds and Orlando Concert Bands, in addition to other freelance venues.

*** Studio Equipment ***

I own a piano, flute. Students will provide their own instrument.

*** Specialties ***

I teach beginning, intermediate, and advance literature on the flute. For beginners, I typically support the student's band program (if enrolled) by utilizing their class method book and supplying additional materials, such as solos, duets, etc. For experienced students, I use a combination of etudes (Melodious and Progressive Studies - Cavally, 26 Selected Studies - Altes, etc.), Duets, solos, and audition materials based on student interest. I specialize in teaching all genres and styles of music.

I enjoy helping my students achieve their musical goals, whether it is getting a music scholarship to college or learn the first three notes on the flute. Seeing a student improve and understand music is a fantastic reward!
