Melissa and her team are in the trenches of the industry and as such, they guide musicians through an essential balance of “here’s what you will always need to know - these are foundational skills” with “here’s what is gaining traction right now - and here’s how to make this work for you as a unique artist."

"I have met some of my closest friends through this program and have met teachers that I will respect and love until the day I die. 

At the end of the day, Melissa teaches her students how to be themselves and how to create art that is authentic to you, and as artists and students, that is all we could hope for."

Nai'a
Recording Artist

"Melissa has the rare ability of making one feel like they’re being taught by a friend. The best mentors create a safe oasis of creativity: their guiding presence is there, instructing & inspiring rather than intruding & intimidating. As both career coach and (superb) vocal coach, Melissa stands tall among those mentors. Working with her is pure joy for me."

Peter Zizzo

"You are so blessed to be in a room with Melissa and Mike and Coley and Skip. These are all people who have lived it and have succeeded in this industry. People who actually played in it and clawed their way through… it’s another level of insight."
