"To know Melody is to love Melody. She is a woman of wit, charm, integrity and an engaging laugh. Each time I’ve worked with her at her church, she has played the piano exquisitely. She is well-organized and thoroughly prepared. She plays artfully and from the heart. It is obvious to me she loves people and I count it a privilege to call her my friend."

"Melody Stroth is a first rate professional musician. It is very fortunate for her many students that she has chosen this teaching career in which she has such outstanding success. Because of her own remarkable performing talent and her exceptionally lively musical curiosity, she is able to bring to her teaching the resources of contemporary pedagogical insights as well as the practical aspects of preparing the student for public performance. Consequently, her studio ranks in the very top of the best in this area. Her students are often winners in competition, both regional and national. Their playing is remarkable for solid and artistic preparation with true musical sensitivity."
