Karen A. says, "We were very lucky to meet Madeleine when my daughter was in 2nd grade and just started learning the violin. Madeleine is patient, encouraging, and so enthusiastic about what she does. Honestly, I was not sure if my daughter would continue playing year after year, but she did. I thank Madeleine for this. When COVID hit, Madeleine quickly switched gears and did my daughter's lessons on ZOOM. These lessons were so effective and really showcased Madeleine’s impeccable ability as a teacher. In addition to her teaching, Madeleine is such a skilled and accomplished musician. When she would play a song with my daughter, I would get tears in my eyes because that was how beautiful it was.
Madeleine always made learning fun, mixing note reading, with songs from the Suzuki book, as well as mainstream music. Madeleine always focused on the positive and gave my daughter confidence that she will succeed. My daughter is now playing in 6th grade in an intermediate concert orchestra class, and I can say it was Madeleine who gave her the confidence and ability to achieve this. Madeleine will also be a mentor to my daughter and having Madeleine as my daughter’s violin teacher was one of the best decisions that I ever made."See more
