I hold a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from Louisiana State University, where she served as the Graduate Teaching Assistant. Originally from Taiwan, I have won first place in the Taiwan Music Competition, the Louisiana Flute Society Solo Master Class Competition, and the Cadenza Competition at the CSU Summer Arts Festival. I also received top prizes at the California State University Long Beach Flute Competition. I have performed in concerts across Asia, North America, and Europe. I am the founder and flutist of the flute and clarinet duo, Vermillion Duet, which seeks to explore the clarinet and flute repertoire, especially focusing on works by underrepresented composers. I obtained the Performance Diploma Diplôme Supérieur d'Enseignement de Flûte Traversière from école Normale de Musique de Paris Alfred Cortot in France. I have earned a Master of Music degree from the Bob Cole Conservatory at California State University, Long Beach, and a Bachelor of Music Degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara.

I was an instructor of record at the Louisiana State University for 3 years. I have more than eight years of teaching experience. I teach students of all levels and ages. My students play in various excellent youth orchestra programs and have won numerous competitions and auditions. 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.

I have recently obtained my Doctor of Musical Arts in Flute Performance degree from Louisiana State University, where I minored in Musicology. I hold a performance diploma from école Normale de Musique de Paris Alfred Cortot in France. I also play the Baroque flute and have done extensive research in Early Music Performance Practice. I have a wealth of musical knowledge and I can't

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!
