Melissa Redway
piano teacher, voice teacher
Melissa loves learning about your kid’s interests and experiences to create a friendly learning environment that is focused on them. Every music lesson is personalized to your child’s needs and learning styles.
Melissa encourages your child to take a break from autopilot and be intentional with their musical playing. She guides your child to learn how they can overcome problem areas, and self reflect on what was great in their performances. Your child will also explore with Melissa the imagery and moods they can inspire through music. Melissa loves celebrating your child’s accomplishments and watching them become more confident.
Melissa’s hope for your child is for them to grow not only as a musician, but a person too.
