About us
Hi! We’re Julia and Marc.
We’re a husband and wife team, parents to a little girl, and the creators of Music with Melody.
We believe music should be something everyone can enjoy, explore and share, so we made an affordable, screen-free way for families to bring more music into their homes. No music degree required.
Julia
Julia grew up the daughter of professional musicians. She plays piano and sings, and she’s a former actor. For more than six years she has worked in education technology, spending every day thinking about how elementary kids learn.
Marc
Marc is a former outdoor children’s educator, the grandson of a professional singer, and an amateur guitarist. He’s also Music with Melody’s most supportive fan.
Why a letter?
Instead of an app or a video series, we made a monthly letter. Each one explores a single song, its history, its story and the people behind it, and invites kids (and grown-ups!) to listen more deeply. Every letter is created from scratch, and we choose each month’s song with care, often around a seasonal mood or moment.
Watching our daughter grow up, we’ve never felt it mattered more for kids to appreciate every genre of music, to ask questions, make connections and think about the why behind what they hear. In a world filling up with AI-made art and music, we want kids to know the real people and stories behind the songs.
Maybe Music with Melody feeds your curiosity. Maybe it fits into your homeschool plan. Maybe it gives you and your loved ones a new way to connect over music. Wherever you’re starting from, on whatever note, we’re happy you’re here.
Musically yours,
Julia & Marc

Who we are
Hi! We're Marc and Julia, a husband and wife team and the creators of Music with Melody.
We started Music with Melody because we believe music should be something everyone can enjoy, explore, and teach. We also wanted to create an affordable, delightful, screen-free way for families to bring more music education into their homes - no music degree required.
Instead of an app or a video series, we created a monthly letter. Each one explores a single song — its history, its story, the people behind it — and invites kids (and adults!) to listen more deeply.
Every lesson is created from scratch. We're intentional about the songs we choose each month, typically centering each lesson around a seasonal mood or moment. Our hope is that the songs you encounter day to day carry a little more weight and meaning.
Maybe Music with Melody feeds your curiosity.
Maybe it fits into your homeschool plan.
Maybe it gives you and your loved ones a new way to connect over music.
Wherever you're starting from, on whatever note, we’re happy you’re here :)
Musically yours,
Julia & Marc
