Making Audio Magic

Songwriting, recording, and music production mentorship without the patriarchy.

A woman with blonde hair and bright red lipstick is smiling and looking at a person in front of her. The person in front, who has curly hair and is wearing headphones, appears to be singing or speaking into a microphone. Guitars are visible on the wall behind them.

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, yet you’re not sure how.

If you’re like me, you also long to produce your own music, but you face technical challenges when opening 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 mentorship, to group classes, and more — this is your space to tap into your own magic — creativity itself.

Stay Tuned!

We just wrapped Song Craft, a four week class for songwriters seeking the space to finish one song, and I’m proud to say everyone did just that. Stay tuned for what’s next and in the meantime, click the link below to learn more about Song Craft.

  • “Melissa provided a welcoming, warm, and encouraging environment to try something new. Prompts given to spark ideas were creative and made tackling writing my first ever song, a much more approachable task. So glad I found this class!”

  • “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.”
