Welcome to my music lesson studio!
I’m Melissa Vidito, a passionate singer-songwriter from Kentville, Nova Scotia, and a graduate of the Professional Vocal Program at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California. With over 20 years of teaching experience, I am dedicated to helping students of all ages unlock their musical potential through personalized lessons in voice, guitar, and piano.
I offer both online and in-person lessons out of my home in New Minas, creating a comfortable and inspiring environment for learning. My teaching approach is tailored to each student’s unique goals and interests, whether you’re a beginner looking to explore the basics or an experienced musician seeking to refine your skills. I enjoy delving into a wide variety of musical styles, including pop, country, folk, jazz, and musical theatre, ensuring that our time together is both educational and enjoyable.
As a seasoned performer, I bring a wealth of experience to my teaching. I am known for my work with local duo The Melberns, as well as my involvement in the R&B, Blues, and Motown band Bluesmobile. My love for the arts extends beyond music; I have taken on various roles in community theatre, serving as a performer, musical director, and costume designer at groups like Centre Stage Theatre in Kentville and Valley Ghost Walks.
In addition to teaching, I have performed at The Halifax Feast Dinner Theatre and appeared in productions for the Travel Channel, including “Alaska Triangle” and “These Woods are Haunted,” which are currently available on Discovery+. You might even catch a glimpse of me in local TV shows like “The Sinner” and “Sugar Highs.”
Currently, I am building a production company called Ship and a Star, which will host events such as dinner theatre and concerts, as well as showcase my adventurous travel vlogs on my YouTube channel of the same name.
Music is my first love, but I also cherish exploring new forms of creative expression. I look forward to sharing this journey with you and helping you discover the joy of music!
