    (6)
    I have been playing piano for 23 years and cello for 16 years. I love sharing music with others and seeing them grow to love music as well. I was a pianist for the KC Ballet’s ROAD program. I have a Bachelors of Music from Lindenwood University. I have been a piano accompanist for 7 years. I taught 5th grade Orchestra Club in the Fort Zumwalt School District and was a substitute teacher for Orchestra classes for 3 years. I have been teaching private lessons for 10 years.

    Great first lesson with hands-on playing, not just an orientation. Looking forward to the next lesson!

    I decided to take up cello at age 57 as a new instrument. Melissa did a great job teaching proper technique and method and was really aware of my personal goals for what I wanted to achieve. She has a great gentle and encouraging demeanor. I would highly recommend Melissa.

    Melissa was very patient and such a great teacher on my first lesson with her. It went by so fast and I learned so much!
