Meet Melodie – Founder & Director of the Anthem Ensembles
Hello! My name is Melodie. I’m a certified full-time educator, a proud auntie, a devoted sister, and above all, a daughter of the Most High God. With years of experience in both teaching and performing arts, I have a passion to mentor young people through music, creativity, and faith.
​
My own journey began in childhood, participating in my cousin's performing arts group, where I learned the foundations of singing, dancing, and acting. Later, my sisters and I formed a trio that performed together for nearly a decade. Those years taught me not only the technical side of performance but also the power of using our gifts to serve others.
​
Whether singing at church youth events or sharing music in nursing homes, I’ve always seen the performing arts as a way to bring joy, healing, and truth to the world.
​
Anthem was born from my desire to give back—to create a safe, encouraging space where kids and teens can grow in their artistic abilities, develop strong character, and share God’s love through powerful, purpose-driven performances.
​
I’m excited to welcome every singer to Anthem and watch them grow both artists and young people of integrity.
