Amazing! Melissa has taught me more in just a few lessons then I have ever learned by any instructor :) she’s funny and understands what is happening with the voice and can explain it in a way you can feel and understand. I definitely recommend her as a voice teacher!!!

Melissa created the space for me to make mistakes, learn, and grow . She balances her expertise in the professional Opera scene in Tampa, with a genuine willingness to help her students explore new challenges.

I highly recommend working with Melissa, she brings valuable insight as a working artist and performer, as well as the care and sincerity to help students to step into their own.

I came to Melissa as a 34 year old with no real singing experience and have learned a great deal about how to treat and train my voice like an instrument. She helped me feel comfortable while working through exercises to undo bad habits and instill good ones. I've made significant progress with her after only a few sessions.
Very accommodating with schedule. Highly knowledgeable.
Highly recommend!

Melissa is brilliant!! She helped me prepare my aria package for audition tapings in New York with some wonderful coaching sessions. My acting has improved so much over the course of our meetings—I feel very confident going into my recordings. Melissa is creative and really takes the time to dive into the text, the context, and even movements accurate to the period. She pushed me out of my confortable little box, and now I feel that I present as a professional artist. Thank you Melissa!!!
