Get in touch if you're interested in having lessons.

EXPERIENCE

I have 10 years of teaching experience. Alongside a strong private practice teaching singing, piano and music theory in the Brockley area, I teach singing at The Godolphin and Latymer School and Wycombe Abbey.

My teaching experience covers all ability levels and all ages from young children to adults, with a focus on classical and musical theatre styles. My pupils have taken ABRSM and Trinity exams from prep test through to grade 8 with great success.

APPROACH

I work on helping students to develop a sound vocal technique and to improve their musicianship and performing skills so that they can grow in confidence. Lessons are always enjoyable and something to look forward to. I create a relaxed environment and promote an attitude of trying one’s best when addressing challenges. I am patient and adapt my teaching to each pupil.

what my students say

Phil, Adult Singing Student

"Melissa is a very accomplished teacher who provides positive feedback during each session. Is able to easily match the pace at which an individual wishes to learn and succinctly corrects and guides to augment study. A very professional individual who puts candidates at ease during each tutorial."

Venice, Adult Piano Student

"Melissa is an awesome piano teacher (in fact the best out there). Her approach and skills for teaching adults are highly effective. Melissa patiently helps me form good piano habits which were often overlooked by my other teachers in the past. With Melissa's effective approach, my piano has improved so much within such a short time period. What I also like about Melissa is her professionalism and punctuality - never late a single time, ever ! Very lucky to have a teacher like Melissa!"

Sarah, Parent of Singing and Music Theory Student

“Melissa started teaching my daughter when her present teacher became very unwell and she had her grade 5 singing exam scheduled in six weeks time. They hit it off immediately. We wanted a teacher who could help both with theory, she was doing grade 5 too, as well as singing, and they combined the sessions very successfully. Melissa has brought out a new depth to our daughter’s singing, more power in her voice and confidence in her performance. We were delighted that our daughter achieved distinction in both exams. She is now progressing to higher grades and enjoying the lessons with Melissa.”

Jill, Parent of Singing Student

"We found Melissa to be an extremely effective piano and singer tutor. She is punctual and polite, conscientious and diligent. Our daughter thoroughly enjoys her lessons and we highly recommend her."
