| About | Melodi Scarsbrook — Vocalist, Pianist, Songwriter BA (Hons) Professional Musicianship
“Melodi worked with me to improve areas of weakness in a way no teacher had before.”
With 8 years of teaching experience, I have worked at BIMM University and Bristol Metropolitan Academy alongside my private practice. My lessons are tailored to each student’s individual goals and musical interests, whether playing for enjoyment or preparing for exams and auditions. I also organise annual concerts, giving students the opportunity to develop their performance skills and confidence in a supportive environment.
I began formal training in piano and voice at an early age and was awarded a scholarship to study at a specialist music school. This was followed by A Levels in Music, during which I achieved the highest performance grades (8) in both Piano and Singing. In 2018, I graduated from BIMM University with a focus on Popular Music Performance, Vocal Technique, Songwriting, and Teaching. After university, I spent time performing and releasing original music, some of which received airplay on BBC Radio Bristol.
I am currently advancing my professional development through ongoing collaboration with West End voice specialists in London and by regularly attending masterclasses at the Voice Study Centre.

| My Musical Inspirations | I started piano and singing training form an early age and won a scholarship to study at a specialist Music School in Turkiye. I continued my studies in the UK with A levels in Music, Music Tech and English Literature. During this time I also passed my ABRSM Grade 5 Music Theory, Grade 8 Piano and Grade 8 Singing exams. I graduated from BIMM University in 2018 specialising in popular music performance (keys & vocals), performance anxiety, vocal techniques and songwriting. I continue work and research in these areas as I prepare to start my Masters degree. |
