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.

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.

*** 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.
