Broadway Singing Lessons in Chalmette. Amazing Teachers.

20 years ago as a beginner singer, I struggled a lot with stage fright. It took me years to build the courage to sing in front of an actual voice teacher. I never thought I would be able to sing in front of anyone, let alone on a stage in front of 100 or even 1500 people- but I found ways to make those dreams a reality. The physical and mental exercises I teach can help even the most self-conscious person become a confident singer. The confidence you gain from singing and performing in front of an audience will overflow into every area of your life. I have been a professional opera and musical theater singer, recording artist (pop and folk music) and soloist for many years. I love to help others find their voice and fulfill their dreams of becoming a singer. I believe anyone with the desire to become a singer can do so with determination and a dedicated system of practice and patience.

Broadway Singing along with Broadway Piano Accompaniment is a major focus in the studio. All things Broadway is our motto and I work hard to ensure students are prepared for auditions and increase the level of their repertoire.

Hi! My name is Melanie and singing has been my #1 passion since I was a little girl! I just graduated with my master's degree from the Peabody Conservatory and I am eager to start working with students! Lessons with me will guide you or your child through understanding the basics of singing. We will work on music theory in addition to singing songs because that is where I believe the fundamentals of singing lies! I'm very familiar with classical art song, opera, and musical theater. Please reach out if you have any questions or if you'd like to set up a lesson with me!

I am a passionate music artist and mentor now enrolling students via zoom online or in-person in Fullerton.
A little about me...
I’ve worked with students ages 3-75 years old for over 15 years. A 2011 CSULB graduate, I earned my Bachelors in Music Education with piano proficiency and choral/vocal emphasis. I studied opera and jazz vocal technique there as well. I have taught 8+ years of music classes at public schools and am currently teaching as a Music Facilitator through Orange Unified School District.
As an active musician, I gig and record regularly with top 40 cover bands as well as my original soul/funk band and really enjoy sharing my enthusiasm and love for music with my students!

I have been on all side of a musical theater production and have been the music director for a variety of shows. Including; Last 5 years, Nice work if you can Get it, COMPANY, Anything Goes, Grease, Bye Bye Birdie, and In the Heights. Singing in this style is different then classical and is more fun!

I am an experienced Vocal Instructor. I have trained singers of all ages including: elementary, middle school, high school and adults. I was musically trained at the University of California Riverside. While studying there I was a soloist/vocalist for the Andean and Mariachi Ensembles; also I was a choir member of the Choral Society. Further I played several instruments in the Gamelan, Taiko, and Rondalla Ensembles at UCR. I am patient and enjoy the challenge of working with different personalities and backgrounds. I am bi-lingual in Spanish.
