Method
Build your technique, find your authentic voice and gain confidence in your perfomance. Melanie offers voice lessons both in-person and online.
Melanie’s teaching is student-centered and evidence-based, guiding singers through a series of vocal exercises tailored to their own individual needs. She believes in a method that works towards finding balance in the flow of air, medium compression in the muscle (vocal folds) and proper acoustic tuning of the vowels to achieve a smooth and even transition between register. Finding this type of balance will allow the vocal folds to work efficiently creating a voice free from tension.
Melanie will also help coach you for your upcoming audition or performance.
Melanie offers an encouraging learning environment for singers of all ages and abilities. Frequency of voice lessons depend solely on the goals of the student, however, achieving progress in the voice requires commitment and consistency in training and purposeful practicing.

Style & Artistry
Melanie's goal is help each singer find their own unique sound and style while maintaining healthy vocal technique.
Developing style is highly dependent on having a solid foundation in vocal technique. Once the voice is balanced, the singer is opened up to a world of possibilities to create vocal dynamics and stylistic creativity.
Melanie will guide singers in developing artistry, style and storytelling for performance whether in the studio, on-stage or preparing for an audition. This will allow the artist to connect emotionally to song and with the audience.
Whether it’s cleaning a vocal riff, connecting to the song lyrics or committing emotionally to the performance, Melanie can help you achieve the sound you desire.
