Melody Mentor is not just about scales and chords and learning an instrument; it's about instilling a love for learning, honing problem-solving skills, and fostering effective study habits. Our instructor’s near decade long teaching tenure across esteemed music schools and private sectors is defined by a fervent commitment to unlocking the musical brilliance within each student. Our community shares a vision of comprehensive growth, seeking to enrich their child's life through the universal language of music.

Within the realm of Guitar and Piano, we delve into the intricacies of technique, improvisation, composition, music theory, and sheet music, cultivating a comprehensive understanding of the musical landscape.

Voice lessons encompass an exploration of diverse styles, ranging from classical pedagogy to cutting-edge Pop and Rock techniques. Additionally, students delve into the realms of sight reading, Solfege mastery, and comprehensive Aural skills training.

Distinguished as a valued member of the 2015 All-State Choir—a testament to my prowess among the top 150 male singers in Illinois—I stand as a multi-award-winning film composer, showcasing close to decade and a half of prolific performance experience.

The one-on-one sessions with Dylan have been absolutely fantastic for my 9-year-old son. His patience, enthusiasm, and personalized approach have helped our son learn the guitar exceptionally well. Thanks to his guidance, my sons progress has been remarkable, and he has developed a genuine love for music. I highly recommend Dylan for your childs musical journey!

As an older student, Dylan has demonstrated skill and patience with me. His teaching style is that of positive influence, he makes sure that his students have some early wins under their belts which helps build momentum. Now I can play songs that I only imagined and am learning skills and music theory and all at an affordable price and on a convenient schedule.

I started teaching for a local guitar shop in St. Charles, and have since then worked for many different studios and academy's all over Chicagoland area. I am happy to say that I have been teaching for close to a decade, and I am beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to teach at music studios and academy's in places like Lemont, Lockport, Lake in the Hills, De Kalb, Oswego and St. Charles. After the pandemic I decided to start my own lesson buissness, which I am very fortunate to say is thriving!
I have worked with students of all ages, and varying degrees of technical ability and experience. I have primarily worked with Kids, 7-16, and with adults in their 40's. I specialize in beginner and intermediate students.
I am very fortunate of the very many awards films have received that I have been lucky enough to write original music for!
What makes you excited about music? Is there an artist you enjoy listening to? Why are you choosing this specific instrument? Bonus: Think of a time, when a piece of music made you feel a powerful emotion and share what that was like. (Joy, excitement, sorrow, hope etc)
