For babies and kids up to age 5, I offer Kindermusik. T hese development classes are held weekly, with a f ocus on the development of the entire child, using music as a medium. Music lessons aid young child memories Parents who spend money and time to teach their kids music, take heart -- a new Canadian study shows young kids who take music lessons have better memories than their nonmusical peers.
Services
Piano and cello lessons are for students of any level, from about age four to adult. Weekly lessons are held either in my home studio or online via video call. Most lessons are 30 minutes per week, but I also offer 45 or 60 minute weekly lessons. Some students will benefit from having 30 minute lessons twice a week.
I offer temporary partner lessons for beginner siblings. In partner lessons, we will begin to learn how to identify the piano keys, read some notes on the staff, and perform basic melodies. Partner lessons are best for kids who are close in age, but they can work for any age. Partner lessons are available only in my home studio.
For those who are unable to come to my home studio, I offer individual piano and cello lessons online. I do not teach online partner lessons at this time. We have two different options for online lessons. We can use a video call, using Zoom, Facetime, Duo, Skype, or Facebook Messenger. If either of us has a poor internet connection, or if your student is too young to focus through a full video lesson, we can send recorded videos to each other.
You can log in at melaniesmelodies.mymusicstaff.com to pay for lessons each month, or set up auto pay for your account. I also use Zelle and Venmo. Under my current semester system, you won't need refunds. If you pay for lessons monthly, your monthly payment goes toward a semester total. When making my teaching schedule, I make sure that each semester includes a few more scheduled lessons than the total amount your monthly payments add up to.
We adore Melanie! She's great with the kids, great teacher, experienced, and prepared with the ideas for lessons. Melanie saw that she needed to be challenged and set the bar high and my daughter worked hard to meet the challenge. I highly recommend Melanie for beginning piano students as well as anyone looking to continue their learning.

I am so happy to find Miss Melanie as my kid's piano teacher. She is excellent in teaching kids. She gives lots of compliments and encouragement. She is very patient as well. She is an amazing pianist. I am very thankful that her rate is very affordable for me. I wish I could pay way more because she is so great and she deserves it. I can't wait to see my kid succeed in piano.

Our boys have studied with Melanie Mcbeth for years. They really look forward to their lessons. Some students become stubborn about piano lessons by the time they become teenagers. Not our boys. They love playing the piano. I think this is because they have the right teacher. Our family appreciates Melanie McBeth.

Mrs. Melanie's piano lessons were ones I truly enjoyed and learned the most from. She was very caring and was not only a teacher but a mentor, who cares deeply about her students. She makes her students feel welcomed and comfortable in her household yet still could be strict in order to motivate us to practice. She's very organized and can tell if you play the wrong tone.
She can even guess your tempo on the metronome right. She is great with kids and students of all ages, and I took piano lessons from her for 7 years. I am now in college so I no longer could continue lessons, but I recommend her as your piano teacher because she is so talented and caring!

Under Melanie's care and teaching my daughter's musicianship flourished for 6 years. Melanie saw that she needed to be challenged and set the bar high and my daughter worked hard to meet the challenge. I highly recommend Melanie for beginning piano students as well as anyone looking to continue their learning.
