For several months, Melaina has been instructing my son in piano and he thoroughly enjoys every lesson with her. Without prompting, he practices multiple times a day and has an immense passion for the instrument. Despite being an 8-year-old with a tendency to tell long tales and fidget, Melaina has remarkable patience that has earned her my gratitude. The special attention she provides him has boosted his confidence in a valuable way. We feel extremely lucky to have Melaina as his teacher.

Melaina is an outstanding piano teacher. Not only does she possess exceptional communication skills, but she also tailors her teaching techniques according to your age, level of expertise, preferences, and other factors. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a competent piano instructor.

After just a few sessions with Melaina, I have gained an improved understanding of my voice mechanics. I am eagerly anticipating the prospect of future lessons with her.

I had an excellent initial lesson where we covered the fundamentals of practicing, including voice projection, techniques for breathing and range, as well as voice pitch. These skills proved to be extremely beneficial.

Being someone who was venturing beyond my comfort zone, I felt quite apprehensive before my initial lesson. Melaina proved to be an exceptional teacher, her ability to sustain patience and inject humor helped me ease up and feel at ease, thereby making the lesson thoroughly enjoyable for me. I look forward to learning more with Melaina as my guide!
