Follow the Starbucks Mellissa Wright
My name is Melissa Wright and I am a singer, songwriter, performer, and teacher based out of Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia.
I began playing music at age 12 after discovering my parents’ record collection in our attic. I asked for a record player for my 12th birthday and have since been in love with making and listening to music.
I have a passion for working with new musicians who feel that very same spark of inspiration.
My teaching style uses contemporary music to teach the basics and fundamentals of technique and music theory. My main objective is to turn that initial spark into a fire that can last a lifetime.
Learning an instrument is a life-long practice and will be challenging, exciting, and fulfilling.
