Hello! I'm Maddie and I'm a violin teacher here in Minneapolis. I have been playing for 15 years and am currently finishing up my Bachelor of Music degree in Violin Performance at the University of Minnesota. I have a wide range of experience playing violin from being concertmaster of my high school orchestra to winning a concerto competition and even traveling to china to play with their university orchestras! I've been a part of a chamber group called 'Sterling Strings' where we played for a variety of events around town. In addition, a few summers ago I had the opportunity to take part in a music festival where we worked directly with the members of the Philadelphia Orchestra, which was such an incredible experience!
I have a real passion for the expression that can be found in music. I want to share that with others and help them see the impact that music can have in a person's life.

A love of music began in the third grade. I started on a silver metal clarinet and have not stopped playing. I am a musician, composer, arranger and performer. I hold a B.A. in music and have taught in the schools for 22 years. I bring extensive knowledge and humor to my teaching. I enjoy working with all age levels and pride myself on being intensely positive.
