“I’ve been taking classes with melody music for over 2 years now, and I have been very happy. When I relocated from Atlanta to Boston, I simply spoke to Kathi and she was able to suggest us a teacher that was able to teach my son in-home, and as good as his piano teacher in Atlanta.
The thing I love with Melody music studios is that the teachers are active professionals, who are willing to start lessons with little kids.”

Wonderful Experience with Cherie

I had lessons once a week with Cherie in Midland zTX for 6 weeks, and it was a wonderful experience. I had almost zero experience prior to meeting her, and she got me to the point where I am comfortable sight reading on my own. She is an extremely kind and intelligent woman, she knows her stuff and she teaches very effectively. I would recommend her to anyone.

Grandparents are so happy with our piano teacher Julie!

Julie has been coming to our home for the last three summers to teach our grandson piano. He lives in San Francisco but spends his summers with us in Reno. After this summer my daughter called to tell me his “school year” piano teacher was just thrilled with how much he had improved with Julie over the summer. Julie is such a great teacher. She is kind and patient with our grandson. She not only teaches but makes it fun for him.

Instructor Tiffany is fantastic!

We learned so much at our voice lessons. I know that we are not the typical music students, but we came to Ms. Tiffany with some specific ideas of what we wanted to accomplish. She was so accommodating and supportive. We will definitely take voice lessons from Ms. Tiffany again.

Melody Music Studios make parents smile

We were referred to Melody Music by a friend. Ms Julia came to teach our son and he instantly took a liking to her. We saw him flourish and enjoy piano.. Unfortunately our timings didn’t work but Ms Julia referred us to Ms Drea who is amazing. Neel likes her a lot and is doing well with her. Overall we are very happy with the program and our child’s progress.
