Continuing to expand my understanding of music theory and playing mechanics which Melissa introduces “just-in-time” which keeps me improving. Finally, Melissa is outgoing, friendly, and likeable. Looking forward to continuing my progress under her considered guidance."

  • "I have been taking banjo lessons from Melissa for about a year. She is an incredible musician and teacher. I have improved as a banjo player substantially. She has taught me classic bluegrass songs, music theory and we have worked on my improvisation. She is also a key organizer of local jams which have also helped me improve and stay motivated. I would recommend Melissa to anyone wanting to learn banjo."

Melissa has been able to adapt her teaching style to my best methods for learning. Melissa is so encouraging and has challenged me to get out of my comfort zone to find that musical flow."
