Welcome to the musical journey
Hi!
I'm Melissa Martinson, and I've been teaching music for over 25 years. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Music and a Bachelor of Science in Music Education (Vocal) from Minnesota State University Moorhead, and I'm a licensed ND Music Teacher.
My love for music started early, listening to my mom play piano and sing while I danced along. Later, I found a fantastic piano teacher in elementary school who, along with my mom, instilled in me the joy of making and sharing music.
In 2019, I took a leap of faith and started my studio to help kids of all ages explore and express their musical talents. In my free time, I love hanging out with my two kids, traveling, and enjoying a good belly laugh with friends.
Musically yours,
Melissa Martinson, Founder
