The Los Angeles Philharmonic features Melissa Hui under a section of their website dedicated to artists, where there are a number of other artists who are mainly composers, performers and conductors. The tone of the article is neutral, and the content regarding Hui includes her career timeline, a list of projects and works she has been involved with, and general biographical information. The intended audience of the LA Philharmonic’s website as a whole appears to be avid classical music enthusiasts or generally an audience that is interested in learning more about classical music. Hui’s specific article is geared towards those who are interested in learning more about her background and about the music she has composed. This source is useful in that it provides the names of her former teachers, a list of music projects she has been involved with in some way, and general biographical background information like where she was born, raised, and educated.

Melissa Hui’s official staff page on the Schulich School of Music website is run by McGill University in Quebec, Canada, and is useful in verifying Hui’s biography, list of works and projects, list of awards, photograph, and current professional position. Even though this is a source that is directly associated with the subject and therefore one of the more likely sources to hold a bias towards her, the fact that it is officially, publicly listed on the website for her place of employment, which is a legitimate school of music within an accredited university, it is reliable in providing verified and true information.

This is a music library database called the Canadian Music Centre, accessed through UNT Library services, and it includes Hui's biography, all works, journal articles and interviews that mention Hui. It is reliable, neutral, and not directly affiliated with the subject. Although it provides similar kinds of information as her official page at McGill University, this source is useful as an outside perspective.

This is an article from the Chamber Music Magazine under the "American Composers" column by an expert in Twentieth-Century music, Kyle Gann. It is fairly neutral, as Gann includes a variety of critiques of her works in a mixture of positive, neutral, and negative lights. This is useful as additional outside perspective of the subject's works and projects and as historical account of her works being performed publicly.

From the Music Online Classical Music Library database, accessed through UNT's library, this source offers audio samples of Hui's compositions performed by professional musicians. The article is lacking in media sources, which is why the aforementioned audio source will be valuable to expanding its content. The source is neutral, as it only features the audio recordings of multiple albums with titles, composer names, performer names, and other non-biased information.
