Personalized Music Lessons & Tutoring Classes for Every Journey

Meet the dedicated educator shaping your musical growth.

Malena Rachelle

Owner, Admin & Teacher

What an amazing journey you are about to embark upon! I’d be honored to guide you on this path, offering personalized music lessons or educational classes tailored to your unique dreams, interests and abilities.

Since 1989, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my passion for music with students of all ages and abilities. When the world went online, it opened up a wonderful new way to connect, and I’ve found immense satisfaction in crafting lessons that are not only educational but also filled with hope and discovery. I believe in gentle guidance, patience, and understanding, meeting you exactly where you are. My greatest reward is witnessing that spark when you realize the joy and enrichment music brings to your life!

Although I do not have any degrees for music, I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, Christian Counseling and Special Education as well as a Master’s Degree in Crisis and Trauma, both from Liberty University. Therefore, all my classes are tailored to individuality and considering any challenges and how to overcome them. My specialty is helping students find ways to be successful and attain their goals, regardless of any barriers or obstacles to surpass. We will be a team, working together every step of the way.

Book your FREE trial lesson today! This is our chance to connect, to feel that spark of shared passion, and for you to experience my teaching style.

I’m available between lessons to answer any questions that may arise – we’ll be a team every step of the way, and you’ll be a part of a vibrant musical online community!

With warmth and anticipation,
Malena (Ms M)

At Hope Through Music we foster a community and relationships between students. Music lessons can be a lonely venture, and we believe it is more fun and productive with others interacting and cheering you on!

We have scholarships & discounts as needed for both children and adults. We never want money to be a barrier to enhancing life, finding hope & joy, and finding satisfaction in life.

Inspiring Growth Through the Power of Music

Hear from our students and families about how we’ve nurtured their love for music, creativity and learning.

“My daughter and I both took music lessons with Malena. I was an adult piano student and my daughter took piano, voice, and clarinet as a preteen and teen. I appreciated the comprehensive education I got. I’d never had the opportunity to add the music theory I’d never studied before. My daughter loved being able to explore new instruments and styles that interested her.”

“Malena has made a great difference in the behaviors and esteem of our Granddaughter who lives with us.”

Grandparent

“I love being able to progress at my own pace but at the same time encouraged to grow beyond my comfort zone. I have advanced farther with Malena than 4 years of lessons earlier in life!”

“Malena has a passion for music and a passion for children that combines in the perfect way for an amazing music teacher. She is patient and kind… encouraging and affirming. She loves her students, and responds to the individual idiosyncrasies of each child to come up with the best learning plan for them as they are. She has the patience of a saint. From a business/parent side she is organized, and responsive, and you always know where you stand. Would thoroughly recommend for lessons.”
