MELISSA BLACK owns and runs her music studio and she spends hours a day recording,mastering and distributing cover tunes to her fans all around the world. She is a pianist who can play anything and everything by ear - in different keys - and in many different styles.
Melissa currently has over 650 releases in her Digital Music Stores BY EAR! Rarely do you find a VOICE TEACHER and VOCAL COACH in the same person - but with Melissa - thats what you get! AND you also get a three-time Grammy Nominee for Music Educator Of The Year!! Melissa specializes in contemporary style singing and can help you increase your range and control while building a healthy instrument.
Melissa is known by everyone to have the most up-beat personality you will ever find!! Melissa is one of the few voice professionals able to bridge the gap between classical “Bel Canto” vocal technique and the demands of a contemporary recording artist, regardless of genre. Her career experience as both a conservatory trained classical singer and a pop recording artist & songwriter gives her a unique perspective well suited to technically nurture and artistically inspire the vocal artists she works with.
Melissa coaches ACTORS as well since they must be able to sing many times in film and on stage. VERY IMPORTANT FOR TODAY'S ARTISTS - Get out of your "COMFORT ZONE" - Get ready for new adventures for your voice and career! It can be a scary process to let go of the ways you’ve been performing and to be vulnerable in front of an audience. But that’s when the magic happens!
BE READY TO DO ALL KINDS OF MUSIC! Thats the fun part! Be ready to study improvisation in this studio - you will be asked to not only do songs like the original artists and cover artists - but you will need to know how to make a song "your own"; In other words - change keys - change tempos - change the style of the song - etc... All very important for today's voice competitions - its no longer good enough to know how to sing - you need to know style and most important - "delivery" of the material. Come get started with Melissa!
MELISSA IS ALSO AN EXPERT "MUSIC ARRANGER" SPECIALIZING IN ALL TYPES OF MUSIC - SHE CAN TAKE A PIECE OF MUSIC AND COMPLETLY RE-ARRANGE IT TO FIT THE STYLE THE SINGER IS LOOKING FOR.
