I went to Melissa after having 15 years away from drumming. I needed to get up to speed quickly for a new band. She got me back in my groove quickly. Getting rid of some bad habits and improving my technique. She explains it and runs through things in such a way you pick it up quickly. I am proof she can teach an old dog new tricks.

My 7 year daughter takes drum lessons with Melissa and she absolutely loves it. Melissa is a fantastic teacher! She makes lessons so fun that my daughter can’t wait to go back and looks forwards to practicing everyday!

We love Melissa and want everyone to know how amazing she is! My ten year old is just learning — I have never seen him more excited about anything(including Minecraft!). Melissa makes it fun AND provides the proper instruction. Her method and personality make it so that I want to learn too! A great, talented teacher! So happy we found her.

I’m SO happy I found Melisa!!! I had a drum teacher before and he was nothing like her. She is extremely talented and is an amazing teacher. She’s been so structured with me and has given me the best material and tools to practice to make me better. I feel very comfortable with her, she’s become a friend and mentor that has given me so much guidance. I’m sure to be a great drummer because of her. Definitely worth every penny!!!

Melissa is seriously awesome! I’ve never played drums before, but as an adult always thought I’d love to pick it up as a hobby and had been talking about doing so for years. I used Unilocal and luckily came across reviews from Melissa’s time teaching up in SF which were all positive so I booked a lesson and so glad I did. Melissa is super passionate about the drums(and music in general since she plays multiple instruments) and she’s a great teacher. Very patient, knows how to push you when you need it but very realistic in terms of expectations. I’ve been taking lessons for a few months and feel like I’ve learned more than I ever could have in a group class and she does a good mix of technique with actually playing on the full set. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking to pick up the drums from scratch or continue their progression as she’s definitely not just for beginners.

I’ve started to learn playing the drums a couple of month ago with Melissa as my teacher. I literally started from scratch, never(well let’s exclude those couple of month my parents made me play the flute as a 6 year old) played any instrument or had any deeper understanding of music. Besides learning how to play the drums, the way I am listening to music has changed a lot. There is so much in music I could not even hear before and can appreciate much more now. I appreciate Melissa’s style a lot, really focussing on details and technique but at the same time allowing lots of room to check interesting styles of music and giving me a good overview to what playing this instrument really means. I admire her patience with me as an absolute newbie. But, what is even more important to me, is that she is super motivating and inspiring. Go learn drumming with her. She really rocks!
