Melinda is a cut above the rest. Her teaching style is very comfortable with a steady drum beat on the fundamentals. In just a few months I can feel my vocal range opening up and a new confidence in singing. I’m looking forward to applying what she teaches in front of a live studio audience!

I've had 2 lessons with Melinda so far and I can already see some improvements in how I breathe, how comfortable I am with my voice, and even extending my range! Melinda is an excellent teacher that knows the ins and outs of teaching how to sing naturally and properly. And she gives exercises for us to practice at home as well.

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  My prices for the first lesson are 30 min / $65, 45 min / $85, and 60 min / $100. After that, I give a discount for signing up for a month of lessons (one lesson per week).

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  I first ask the customer questions that help me get to know them as an individual, their experience with music, and what their goals are with singing. I tailor warm-up exercises to their needs and suggest songs for them based on their voice type, experience, and musical preferences.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  Melinda is passionate about making healthy singing accessible to everyone. With 15 years as a music educator, she is also a professional vocalist who brings her performance experience from local and world stages to her teaching. She received her Master of Music degree in Vocal Performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and went on to study in Spain and France.
