“Dr. Melissa Mills is a wonderful vocal teacher who has helped my neurodivergent daughter grow in her music skills.”
Bethany Evans Garner
Parent of a voice student
“Dr. Mills is a wonderful instructor. She's no doubt very knowledgeable, but what strikes me most about her is her ability to put her students at ease. She is what I would call a builder. She helps students learn to sing, but she also helps them learn to be brave and to have self confidence. Learning to sing is a wonderful thing, but learning to have courage, trust your voice, and feel good about yourself might just be the more important lesson. If you're looking for a voice instructor, look no further.”

Her knowledge, patience, and ability to explain techniques clearly have made a huge difference in my progress. I always leave feeling motivated and excited to keep improving. I highly recommend Dr Mills to anyone looking for a talented and inspiring voice teacher!”
