Melody Bober


As a composer, Melody enjoys creating motivational piano pieces that foster students' understanding and love of music.

Melody graduated summa cum laude from the University of Illinois at Champaign/Urbana with a bachelor's degree in music education. She later received a Master of Arts degree in piano performance from Minnesota State University, Moorhead.
