Melody's students love that she teaches them whatever they want to learn. If they want to dig into classics and learn how to read music, then that will be the focus. If not, then the student will learn chord progressions and theory, and will write their own charts and play in band. She even writes sheet music for her readers using a music notation software. Melody teaches piano and voice predominantly, but also has a few guitar students. She can teach audio engineering and how to get the best sound for any song. Melody's approach as a teacher is to make learning music fun. She was classically trained, so she is highly skilled in sight reading. While working their way through the lesson curriculum, her students will complete homework assignments and also learn how to write their own music. Melody is an accomplished professional musician who has worked with some of the best producers, and has supplemented her considerable musical education with online classes at Berklee, as well as through personal music mentoring from some of the industry's top professionals.
Melody S.- has over 23 years of music experience in the Rockwall area.
Melody S.- is proficient in and teaches Keyboard and Piano Lessons .Degree and Field of Study:
What to expect in my Keyboard and Piano Lessons
I focus heavily on music theory. What happens in a song before the fingers ever touch the keys. My students learn not only proper technique but performance skills that will quickly advance them at whatever level they are currently at. I use apps and technology to demonanstrate music for different learning styles and the opportunity to play along with tracks. My students get recommendations for music and technique but I highly encourage that they play things that they also enjoy outside of the lesson regimen.
Formal Education:
Melody earned a degree in Chemistry from Northern Arizona University in 2012.
Private Education:
Performing Experience:
Melody has been teaching formally since 2006, at both the high school and university level. While in college, she was asked to student teach, and did so from her freshman year into her senior year. After graduating, she began her career as a high school science teacher. Although she had a wonderful career, in her heart she had really missed playing music. So in 2014, Melody joined a heavy metal band as their keyboard player, and later became a career musician after falling in love with performance and composition.
Experience Teaching:
In 2016, Melody moved to Dallas, Texas, to be closer to her family, and began teaching music lessons privately. She currently teaches about 40 private students whom she meets with in person each week. Additionally, she is working as a TV and film song writer, and is working on creating video lesson plans to be able to teach remotely to anyone in the country!

Melody was AWESOME...my son Brody talked about her for days. She is a very good with kids and she seems to really know how to connect with them. From her friendly smile of hello, to her very welcoming work space, Melody will set your mind at ease and let you feel confident that you can learn. I would recommend Melody to everyone.

3rd lesson
Wouldn't change anything. Melody is very patient with Golden, but doesn't coddle him either. He's not a natural by any means, so every step takes some work. But he's enjoying the process. Britt Hollingsworth wrote on Sat, 12 May 2018
Review of Lessons with Melody
She’s very gifted in many areas of music, voice, drama, etc. my son Golden loves her style and her insights. She is patient with him, WHILE pushing him forward. And every session is different, keeping any monotany at bay, No complaints at all! Britt H wrote on Sat, 16 Jun 2018
Versatile
We started off with a desire for music lessons, for which Melody has been well-equipped and engaging. But, she got him to confess a desire to act as well...which is another art with which she has had substantial experience and insight. So now, every visit is a nice surprising mix of different possibilities. Britt Hollingsworth wrote on Thu, 28 Jun 2018

Melody is a very gifted and knowledgeable music teacher and musician. Our son loves his lessons with her. She really knows how to Taylor each lesson to his specific needs and ambitions. Anja Friday wrote on Mon, 17 Sep 2018
Golden
Melody continues to do an awesome job of getting my son to open up. His lack of vocal gifts does not slow down her desire and ability to make the sessions fun and worthwhile. Britt Hollingsworth wrote on Mon, 22 Apr 2019
