Hello! My name is Dr. Melody Wan. I have recently moved back home to California. Prior to that, I held the teaching position of Visiting Assistant Professor at University of Louisiana, Lafayette and Flute Professor at Southeastern Louisiana University for the past three years. I hold a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from Louisiana State University and a Performance Diploma from Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris from France. Originally from Taiwan, I have won first place in the Taiwan Music Competition, the Louisiana Flute Society Young Artist Competition, and the Flute Competition at the CSU Summer Arts Festival. I also received top prizes at the California State University Long Beach Flute Competition. I am also an active performer and a chamber musician in the grant-winning duo Vermillion Duet. I have earned a Master of Music degree from the CSU Long Beach, and a Bachelor of Music Degree from the UC Santa Barbara.

I have more than 10 years of teaching experience. I teach flute students of all levels and ages. My students play in various excellent youth orchestra programs and have won numerous competitions and auditions. I also teach theory or musicianship classes, whether it's for young students to pass an exam or for college students that need extra help. I am a strong advocate for involving students in their own learning processes. I believe each student is unique, with their own way of learning and expressing music. I tailor my lessons to the individual needs of each student by making a plan with them at the beginning, setting personalized goals, and tracking their accomplishments as we go. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, and I look forward to meeting you!

Melody is an incredible flute teacher

My 7th grade daughter is trying out for Band as a beginner flute player. In just a few sessions, Melody has already helped her improve! We are very lucky to have found Dr. Wan and look forward to working with her in the future!

Yuh-Jiun - fantastic flute instructor!

Yuh-Jiun was great during her lesson with my daughter. It was the day of my daughter’s orchestra concert - and we scheduled a session with Yuh-Jiun. Yuh-Jiun was so patient and clear in explaining things to help my daughter get the best tone and fingering for her flute solo. That session gave my daughter so much confidence that she practiced even more after her lesson. And she had a GREAT performance at the concert that evening! So grateful for Yuh-Jiun’s instruction - she’s an amazing teacher!

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

Andy tried a lesson with Ms. Melody and he likes her style and is very glad to learn the areas that he needs to improve and how to improve. Ms. Melody is very patient and kind. He will continue his lesson with her.

I was so lucky to find Melody!

I started playing flute 20 years ago, but I quit after a few years. A few months ago, my wife got this course for me as a gift. First, I thought I just do a few lessons but now I cannot quit! Melody is a great musician and tutor. She knows exactly where I am and helps me to get back on track by choosing the right etudes. Every minute I spend in the class with her, I learn something new, and I really enjoy it. She is the reason why I decided to continue playing. Thank you, professor, Wan!

A wonderful first lesson

As an adult learner coming to the flute for the first time I couldn't have asked for a better start. I had a great time making my first few notes on the flute!

Wonderful Lesson

Dr. Wan is a wonderful flute instructor. My daughter was looking for professional feedback on some of her college audition material. Dr. Wan provided valuable critiques and my daughter loved that she taught her a new way to attack a tricky piece. Great Lesson!!!!!

Dr. Melody is awesome!

Dr Melody was very encouraging and offered helpful ways to improve. She really paid attention to form, etc during the lesson. We were shocked at how fast my daughter made improvements in playing the flute! Wow! Great job!
