Latest news

There’s a bit happening in Mel’s world!

Pub Choir & community college roles

It’s been an incredibly busy start to the year for Mel. Aside from her regular private and public shows, Mel is studying and has also started a new role at Community College Gippsland (CCG) as a Music Trainer. Mel is loving the challenge of leading classes and working with the team at CCG and is already seeing some wonderful progress with her students.

Mel has also added another evening to her singing teaching schedule this year in an effort to keep up with demand. All spaces were filled very quickly though, so a waiting list is back in place.

In other great news, Mel has just joined forces with the Traveller’s Rest Hotel in Thorpdale to be a part of the Pub Choir team! Scheduled for the last Monday of each month, Mel will work alongside Kate Reiske and Sean McCarthy to facilitate the evenings, which are FREE to participate in and fun for all. Check out the SHOWS tab for dates.

***Booked out for terms 1 & 2, 2025***

If you feel like it’s time to get real (unlike that AI generated image sitting over there) and want to seriously push your singing to the next level, now is the time to reach out!

I have opened up more time slots and now have limited spots available on Wednesday & Thursday afternoons & evenings.


***Please note: All spots have now been filled. Contact us to be put on the waiting list.***


All ages welcome!  
Private one-on-one lessons in Warragul.

Here’s a basic idea of what to expect:

Together we’ll work on exercises to warm up, strengthen, refine and improve the range of your voice (check out SOVT exercises - they are amazing and we’ll use them A LOT). Then we have fun working on a song of your choice (I can help you to choose something from a list you provide that will suit your voice for where you are on your singing journey so far). We’ll not only work on improving your voice, but also building your confidence so you’re performance-ready (if that’s your goal - no pressure here). With regular lessons and practice outside of lesson times you will hear and feel results. How much and how quickly this happens is totally up to you and the amount of quality time you put in. Opportunities to record or perform live in a supportive environment are also available.

Build your skills and confidence at the same time.

Still not sure? That’s ok! Let’s start with a 2 lesson trial ($80) to see if we’re a good fit. We can get to know each other and I can work out a plan and get things started. Then you can decide if I’m the right teacher for you.

Limited spaces are currently available on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and evenings (Tuesday evenings are currently booked out, but a wait list is in place). Term 1 starts in the first week of February 2025.

All ages welcome!  Private one-on-one lessons in Warragul.

If you’ve ever thought about having singing lessons, now is the time to actually do it!

Aside from being fun, singing is great for your mental health and general wellbeing. Whether you want to sing confidently on the stage, or sound awesome in the shower - I can help you (I’ve done both) 😉.

To give you an idea of what to expect, lessons are 30 minutes long and $40 each - paid upfront by the term. Together we work on exercises to warm up and then strengthen and refine your voice. Then we have fun with a song of your choice (I can help you to choose something from a list you provide that will suit your voice for where you are on your singing journey so far). With regular lessons and practice outside of lesson times you will hear and feel results. How much and how quickly this happens is totally up to you and the amount of quality time you put in. Opportunities to record or perform live in a supportive environment are also available.

Build your skills and confidence at the same time.

2024

Welcome to 2024!  May your year be everything you hope it will be!
2023 was HUGE and quite challenging and nobody had time to update this website (except for the shows page)! We’ll try to do better this year… 😉

Mel has already locked in some wonderful gigs and events and looks forward to performing for you soon.

To keep up to date with what she’s up to and where she’ll be next, hit the ‘Mel’s Shows’ button below.

What’s new in ‘22?

Gigs are back!

Let’s face it, the last couple years have been brutal for the entertainment industry, so it’s exciting to see events - both large and small, back on again.

Mel is back on stage doing her thing again this year, with a number of regional gigs already in the diary and more to be announced soon.

The Women in Gippsland, International Women’s Day Event (SOLD OUT) saw her take to the stage to both perform and MC at the West Gippsland Arts Centre - something Mel looks forward to doing more of, along with some other exciting new roles in West Gippsland. Watch this space for more about that!

Mel supporting The Chantoozies

Mel is absolutely stoked to announce that she is supporting The Chantoozies, Australia’s favourite female band, at Live at The Bundy on Saturday, November 17, 2021! The Chantoozies have toured extensively throughout the country for over 3 decades, often sharing the stage with iconic Aussie bands, Daryl Braithwaite, James Reyne, Hoodoo Gurus, John Farnham, just to name a few or legendary international acts, Billy Joel, Rick Astley, Go West, Bananarama and Billy Ocean. The girls (Ally & Eve) are backed by their amazing 4 piece band and deliver a fabulously fun show packed with a blend of Chantoozies hits and well-known covers. They love to sing, dance and laugh but mostly, they love to perform (show off) for an audience and they can’t wait to get on-stage and do just that!
