About Melissa

I have varied musical interests and experiences and am happy to tailor your instruction to include your musical tastes in our basic studies. In addition to classical, I have studied and performed fiddling, folk, blues, rock, and mariachi.

Technique is the foundation of my teaching of any style of music. I use traditional, classical methods and literature with elements of the Suzuki method. (Please note: although I use Suzuki literature and some aspects of the the method, I am not a certified Suzuki teacher.) All students will have technical studies regardless of their musical style preferences.

Learning an instrument takes time and dedication. Please consider whether or not you are willing to commit to daily practice before signing up for lessons.

My students have ranged in age from four to 86! I welcome students of all ages and abilities. I have been teaching private lessons since 1999.
