"My kids (12 and 16 y.o.) absolutely adore Melanie. Before she started teaching them, piano lessons were a struggle—they didn’t want to go, didn’t enjoy learning, and had no interest in practicing. That all changed with her. She found a way to connect with them and sparked a new interest in piano by introducing modern songs and great classical pieces in simpler arrangements. Her energy, the way she communicates, and how she presents material make each lesson fun and engaging. She has a natural ability to speak to students in a way that makes them want to listen, try again, and learn. In fact, her approach was so inspiring that even I felt like taking a lesson myself!
