Meet the Teacher

My name is Melissa Ayotte and I have been an early childhood music and piano teacher in Marin County, CA for over 20 years.  I am originally from Mill Valley where I studied piano with Antonia Cippolina beginning at age 5, and I continued studying with Paul Smith at College of Marin after high school.  I play and perform professionally at restaurants, curches and theater groups and currently live in southern Novato with my husband, children and granddaughter.  Please contact me with any questions you may have.
