12 years tutoring experience & a lifetime of music

Informations du tuteur

À propos

I'm an American expat living in Uganda who's been giving and receiving music training, as well as performing, for a cumulative 28 years. I'm a singer, pianist, ukulelist, and dancer with a love for teaching, who specializes in classical and pop music. I've worked with students with a wide range of ages, musical preferences, and cultural backgrounds with marked success; I truly enjoy the diversity. I've also had the privilege of teaching in a wide variety of settings--classrooms, homes, churches, studios, under mango trees, on the internet, and most recently in my own music center that I started here in Uganda. As I like to say, music is music!

Great experience

Melissa was my vocal teach, she taught me how to sing better and I didn't remain the same. By. Brenda Nakirya

Excellent experience

Am no longer the same from the time I started lessons with you. Very reliable, and I learnt a lot from your music experience. I now know how to use my voice. Singing has become so easy. Highly appreciated

Great music tutor you won't regret having!

Melissa was by vocal coach for a time and I learned so much from her. She was able to guide me into bettering and strengthening my voice, and was a constant source of encouragement. She is also really good at knowing where you are and helping you see the potential you have if you are willing to practice. I highly recommend Melissa if you are looking for a professional and proficient music tutor!
