Testimonials
If I have to put it simply: Maddie is amazing!
Our son began lessons with Maddie in 2nd grade and we have been beyond impressed and inspired with his progress. We are blown away every week with how much he has learned and how quickly he has grasped his very first instrument in six short months. From learning the basics of his instrument, to reading music, to playing full songs and performing in front of a crowd. Our son’s confidence has soared and he leaves every lesson and performance with the proudest, most confident mindset.
We appreciate Maddie as a teacher, leader and positive role model for our son. We could not ask for more from a music teacher and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a new music instructor.

Maddie has such a great teaching style! You can tell she truly loves sharing music with her students. My daughter learned so much about music, but also gained so much confidence. She loves getting to collaborate with other students on different pieces for recitals. Maddie keeps it fun!

Maddie's teaching style has been invaluable in developing my son's guitar skills. Her friendly and personable approach has enabled my son to feel at ease and more confident playing his guitar. He looks forward to his weekly lesson and greets us with such enthusiasm to share the new chords he learned. Maddie is professional, organized, and reliable. Her passion for both music and teaching is evident through her connections with her students. We look forward to our son continuing to develop his guitar skills with Maddie.

Signing myself and my daughter up for lessons with Maddie was one of the best choices I could have made. Maddie is great for students of all ages and levels. Not only does my daughter thrive in her piano lessons, but I have also had so much fun learning a new instrument (guitar) for myself. Maddie has also helped me learn to play the piano the way I always wished I could when I was a kid, but never mastered.
I can’t say enough good things about this young lady. I’m an almost-40-year-old mom of two young kids. I played several instruments while growing up, and tried to teach myself the guitar numerous times. I never could get there. Maddie has somehow made it so doable!

My name is Jennifer Noble and I would highly recommend Maddie Lai as a music instructor for your child. I had the good fortune of being Maddie's 4th grade teacher. As time went on Maddie sought volunteer positions within my classroom from presenting on specific topics to working with individual and small groups of students, particularly in math. This support was an incredible blessing for my students and I.
I have had the unique opportunity to witness Maddie as a remarkable learner and provider of the learning. In working with my students Maddie showed an amazing ability to familiarize herself with each student in order to meet their individual needs. She was perceptive, patient, engaging and so much fun while also taking her responsibility for their learning very seriously.
If I had school age children of my own I would be thrilled to have Maddie as their music instructor.

We love going to Maddie because she is patient, flexible, and always makes my daughter feel good about herself and her progress (even if she hasn’t practiced as much as she should have!) When my daughter leaves lessons she is happy and proud of herself. Confidence and knowledge building—we love Maddie!

I like piano lessons with Maddie because she teaches me lots. I’m happy I know so much already and it hasn’t even been a year. It is always fun too! Maddie has shown me that music is more than just a couple of notes.

Maddie is really nice and very good at music. She helps you take your mistakes and turn them into a masterpiece. It’s fun to have a recital and you get to see all of Maddie’s other students and hear what they have been working on. Maddie is the best and I LOVE playing ukulele and writing my own songs!
