Creative & Effective

25+ years of experience making learning and performing magical, meaningful, and actually fun.

Hey, I'm Miss Melanie!

I'm a musician, educator, and performer who's spent 25+ years helping people discover their creative voices—especially those who've been told they learn "differently."

Whether I'm teaching a kid to play ukulele, helping a student finally crack the art of essay writing, leading a sing-along, or creating an immersive sound bath experience, my approach is the same: meet you where you are, celebrate how you learn, and make it magical.

I specialize in working with neurodivergent learners because I understand firsthand that traditional methods don't work for everyone. And honestly? The "traditional" way is usually boring anyway.
