    Hi. My name is Melissa F. I am a music instructor and children's book author who began playing clarinet as a child. I have over eleven years of experience teaching guitar, voice, piano, and group classes to students of all ages. Students who have studied with me have achieved high scores at judging panels, written their melodies, learned to improvise, and gained confidence performing some of their favorite pieces while excelling in their academic studies.

    Jan, 2013 - Aug, 2015

    Private Studio

    The Musikgarten classes offered at this studio are designed to nurture the childs music aptitude by engaging children and their families in singing and movement activities which help attune the ear, refine the voice, and develop a rhythmic body through which music can be expressed. Additionally, instrumental activities are part of the program, ranging from playing simple rhythm instruments such as sticks and drums for babies and toddlers to playing keyboards for older children. This is the only program that offers curricula for newborns through group piano instruction. It is based on a keen understanding of how children learn, in both a general sense and, specifically, how they learn music. There are weekly assignments for families and as the children grow with the program. They learn piano pedagogy and solfeggio as they enter Cycle of Seasons and Pre-piano classes.
