Melomanie Music Studio was created for musicians, composers, and creators of all ages who are looking for an inclusive and immersive private music experience. My name is Anna Burdette, and I am a private music teacher located in the River North Neighborhood in downtown Chicago. 

If you are new and wondering if Melomanie might be the right fit for you, please reach out, and we can schedule an initial lesson before committing to my program. 

I offer a K-12th private lesson program, as well as an adult lesson program, in piano and voice.

Each academic year is divided into three terms: Semester 1 - Fall, Semester 2 - Winter/Spring, and Semester 3 - Summer.

I grew up in the small town of Calhoun, Georgia. From a young age, I always loved music and performing. At the age of seven, my grandad enrolled me in piano lessons and the rest is history. My piano teacher cultivated a deep love of music in my soul and shaped my future musically. What I loved about my piano teacher was the she taught me traditional music skills such as reading music, technique, and theory; but once I learned the foundational skills and basics of music she started allowing me to learn songs that I wanted to play and introduced me to a variety of genres of music. I continued to learn out of my lesson books and eventually classical literature books, but I also started playing songs that had meaning to me and lit my fire to continue to practice and learn the piano. I eventually started voice lessons, writing my own melodies, and starting to perform at local venues. In 2014, I even had the privilege of recording an EP track that was available on iTunes for a few years. 

After completing undergrad with classical music training, I taught piano lessons in Georgia for some time, while working as a dance studio instructor and assistant. In the summer of 2016, I moved back to Chicago and started working in various roles at the Latin School of Chicago. Since then I have completed my MEd in Early Childhood Education and am certified as an elementary teacher. My studio has experienced much growth over these last few years and I am looking forward to continued growth and diversity. Teaching students music and laying a foundation for a lifelong love of music is what I love to do. I strive to teach them foundational music skills, while also stirring creativity and a passion for music. Being a former classroom teacher, pianist, singer, songwriter, and performer, I help all ages and levels of students tap into their musical potential and find their own artistry and voice as a musician.
