Music Lessons for All Ages & Skill Levels!
Melody Academy of Music is dedicated to fostering a fun and educational music learning experience, offering lessons on piano, guitar, violin, viola, and woodwinds.
Early childhood is the best time for the entire family to enjoy making music in a happy and nurturing environment. Music is a great tool to teach children about rhythm, pitch and tone. It also helps in the development of motor skills and can improve creativity. For over 20 years, our music teachers made that possible for thousands of students.
We strive to offer opportunities for class participation, mini-recital, annual recital and community level competition. We instill in our students a lifelong friendship with music.

ETHAN HENRY SAXE
Music Educator
Former MAM student
“In my experience at MAM, I have found that Melody provided a basis for what allowed my musical growth to flourish, teaching me concepts that would carry over to any instrument I played in the future. She is incredibly friendly and patient and works well with children of all age groups!”
BRANDON YANG
Graduated from Stanford University
Former MAM student
“I attended Melody Academy of Music when I was 4. The teachers introduced me to the wonder of music and helped me build confidence to play music and share it with others. While I’m not a musician, to this day, I still come back to the piano as a hobby that helps me stay grounded and peaceful. Thank you Melody Academy of Music!”
ERIC DENG
Robotic Engineer
Former MAM student
“My name is Eric Deng and I am currently a Robotics Engineer working at Facebook after graduating from University of Southern California. “Dinosaur D” is the very first music note that I learned from Mrs. Wu in my first class at MAM – it is hard to think that was 17 years ago. I still remember every Saturday morning I would look forward to my MAM classes – for the fun (YES – she made music very fun for a 5 year old!) and to collect my dinosaur stickers. MAM really has a great way to teach young kids and inspire them. The effort was put into each recital (to make the students get the sense of accomplishment!) was tremendous. I am very grateful that my mom signed me up for MAM and music has since then been a big part of my life (I played both piano and oboe later) — it all started with that very first note “D”.”
WILBUR JI
Western University
Health Sciences
Former MAM student
I first enrolled in Melody Academy of Music almost 20 years ago when I was only 4 years old. At the time, I was just starting to learn how to play the piano. I distinctly remember always looking forward to my music sessions on the weekends because MAM made it so enjoyable. From the games to the lessons, there was never a dull moment. My very first lessons were with Melody Wu, from which I later transitioned to private lessons with Flora Wong. Thanks to my teachers at MAM and the musical education they offered, I have always felt musically inclined. To this day, the ability to connect with music has helped me in almost every aspect of my life. MAM instilled in me an everlasting love and appreciation of music. It is with the highest degree of praise and admiration that I say thank you to Melody Wu, Flora Wong, and Melody Academy of Music.
