Melissa knows alot of music by ear of today's top male artists and bands - as well as music from the 60's on up. No one vocal coach can help you take a song and transform it into a masterpiece for the stage like Melissa!! Always be prepared with a minimum of 3 songs each lesson for those doing half hour lessons and more for those doing an hour.Note - You all will love all of the songs i know by ear on the piano - just like the singers do on The Voice and other vocal competitions - we do the songs from the 60's thru today. So important to be able to take these classic songs and bring them into the new year! Only i can take these songs - BY EAR - and do them like you want them on the piano and together we can re-make these songs for you to perform and audition with.!!)

MY FAVORITE MALE SINGER!! ALEX BAND FROM "THE CALLING"
Simple Man (The Voice) A fav of mine
HERE is another example of how we take a song by a female and make it into a MALE song! (THE VOICE) - https://www.youtube.com
LISTEN TO "SHALLOW" from A STAR IS BORN!
Here is a sample song list for males - i can play all of these and hundreds more by ear in different keys and styles - If you want to bring in your own songs - don't bring me sheet music (although i am an expert reader) - just bring lyric sheets and the song downloaded onto your phone for you to sing along with - i probably know the particular song so i can play for you in your key!
