WHO WE ARE

Melodika School of Music and Arts was officially founded on January 03, 2018, starting its journey with branches in General Trias, Cavite and Bacoor, Cavite. Born out of a shared vision by founders Paul Gregory D. Rivera and Michelle Herrera-Rivera—who are both proud natives of Naic, Cavite—the school was built on a deep passion for creative education and the desire to provide a welcoming space where aspiring artists could cultivate their talents.

Melodika's reputation for excellence quickly grew, allowing it to cater to students from top-tier international schools, including the prestigious Southville International School and Colleges and Elizabeth Seton School. When the educational landscape shifted globally, Melodika adapted swiftly by expanding its reach through interactive online platforms. This pivot allowed the school to cross borders, successfully mentoring thousands of students both locally and abroad.

Today, Melodika has entered an exciting new chapter. The school has relocated its main hub back to Naic, Cavite—the beloved hometown of its founders. Moving back to Naic brings the school’s journey full circle, anchoring its operations in the community that raised them. No matter how far its reach extends, Melodika remains firmly dedicated to Paul and Michelle's original mission: to nurture self-confidence, inspire lifelong creativity, and bring the joy of music and arts to homes near and far.
