music mentorship

1:1 Lessons

Melissa offers lessons to both children and adults in the following disciplines. Want to combine songwriting and music production or voice and guitar? Let’s do it!

  • These 1:1 songwriting lessons are for budding musicians and creatives ready to explore a new dimension of their voice, transforming the idea that’s been echoing in your head into a finished song you can actually share.

  • Do you have a zillion demos on your phone that you wish you could record from your own bedroom? In our DIY recording mentorship, we work 1:1 to empower you to learn about the basics of recording and producing from your own home studio. We teach Ableton Live, but are happy to work with students who use other DAWs. Not a songwriter, but hoping to learn more about recording? We’re here for you too!

  • Are you or your kiddo a beginner guitarist seeking support to learn songs and perhaps write your own? Making Audio Magic offers guitar lessons with nervous system regulation, fun, and a practice plan to help beginners excel at any age.

  • We offer voice lessons for singer songwriters, with a focus on SOVT tools for healthy singing. Our lessons start with children at age 10 and we work with adults at any age. We believe anyone can sing, and if you already are singing, it’s impertive that you seek support so that you can channel songs as healthily and freely as possible.

    1:1 Songwriting Student

  • “After working with Melissa as one of her students at the School of Creative and Performing Arts in New York City, I reached out to her to help me release my first EP. At our own pace, she began teaching me how to use the Ableton recording software and how to get the best sound at home. What I love most about working with Melissa is that she supports what you want to work on and will provide you with multiple resources to set you up for success. She is so down-to-earth, talented, and knowledgeable in her craft—anyone would be lucky to work with her.”
