ABOUT
Everyone Deserves the Opportunity to Learn Music
Many special needs students are never able to realize their potential for music because instructors feel unequipped to work with them. But everyone deserves a chance to experience the many benefits of playing instruments and teachers can provide more inclusive opportunities with better training. Melody Makers 850 offers private, in-person, virtual, and group classes to meet any need.

Stephanie Powell
Founder
Stephanie Powell is a wife, mother of 4, special needs teacher and adaptive music instructor. She has lived in Pensacola, FL for 6 years and loves serving in her church, serving the community and spending warm days on the beach with her family. She started teaching adaptive music lessons 5 years ago when she noticed many of her school students learned music concepts very quickly but didn’t have anyone outside of school to help them develop music skills.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQs
Below are answers to the most popular questions from parents and students. Didn’t find what you need? Just send a request and we will get in touch with you shortly.
Can you teach my student to play music?
Yes! Every student’s journey is different and everyone sees different kinds of success. MM850 lessons focus on individuals’ strengths and measure their success according to their progress, not anyone else’s achievements.
Do I need to have an instrument?
Initially it’s not necessary. I know that instruments can be a big investment. I have some other options for practice and usually have instruments to loan temporarily. When you feel confident that music is something your family is ready to commit to, I am happy to help you decide what is a good fit for you.
Do you teach in areas outside of Pensacola and Pace, Florida?
Virtual classes are a possibility for some students. I am not currently able to travel to other cities, but would be very interested in working with other teachers to help them effectively teach your student.
How do we get started?
Contact Mrs. Stephanie at moc.liamg%40058srekamydolem We will set up a phone conversation and determine availability and how I can best meet your child’s needs.
How much does it cost?
Private lessons are $20.00 per 30 minutes. Lessons are typically 30 minutes or 1 hour twice a week. Traveling fees are added if we are doing in home lessons and discounts are considered for families with multiple students. Classes and camps are listed individually when offered.
Are you a Music Therapist?
No. Adaptive music focuses on teaching music concepts and practice in a way that any student can learn. We are careful to not claim and therapeutic benefits and keep learning music as our main objective. There are added benefits to learning music, but those are not our teaching goals.
