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 700 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!
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.
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!
