The Teacher

Piano lessons with a performing musician.

Develop your playing through individual lessons shaped by a classical foundation, jazz and pop experience, and the way music works in the real world.

Lessons are built around the student. Beginners can develop reading, rhythm, technique and confidence; returning and developing players can focus on repertoire, musical understanding and expression.

An initial conversation helps Melina understand your experience, musical interests and goals before recommending a path forward. Current lesson availability and practical details are confirmed directly.
