Making Audio Magic

If you’ve landed here, you know that making music is a magical act. You may be brand new to songwriting or have been crafting songs DIY for some time. You feel the pull to finish your songs but you’re not sure how.

If you’re like me, you long to produce your own music, though you find yourself facing technical challenges when you open your DAW (digital audio workstation).  While you could hire someone else to handle it, you know deep down that this creative path is yours to walk.

Making Audio Magic is your space to learn the practice of channeling songs. From one-on-one songwriting lessons to recording + production mentorship, to group classes, and more.

Music Mentorship

Songwriting

Songs are spells. These 1:1 songwriting lessons are for creatives, witches, and budding musicians who are psyched to process and heal through making music.

DIY Recording

Do you have a zillion demos on your phone that you wish you could record from your own bedroom? Are you a podcaster seeking skills to make your show sound pro? We can work together for 1:1 lessons and get you confident in no time!

Let’s Make an EP

We’ll work together to create your very own 3 song EP. I’m with you every step of the way as a mentor, producer, and co-engineer.

What past students have to say

“After working with Melissa as one of her students at the School of Creative and Performing Arts in New York City, I reached out to her to help me release my first EP. At our own pace, she began teaching me how to use the Ableton recording software and how to get the best sound at home. What I love most about working with Melissa is that she supports what you want to work on and will provide you with multiple resources to set you up for success. She is so down-to-earth, talented, and knowledgeable in her craft—anyone would be lucky to work with her.”
