Let's make music!
Aw, we like you, too!
Meet the Teacher!
My name is Madeleine -- the kids call me Mrs Getz!
​
I received a solid education in piano:
I had excellent technique, I could read music with ease, and I played with expression that examiners praised year after year.
But something was missing.
​
Why couldn't I play something without having seen it written out? I couldn't even play Happy Birthday at parties!
​
Why was music theory something I learned at a table?
​
Why was it so hard to set down on paper the music I heard in my head?
​
Sometimes I thought I wasn't a very good musician.
​
The truth is, music education in the past century has focused so heavily on music literacy that music proficiency has suffered.
​
As a teacher today, I want my students to know music as a living language.
Musicians need to be able to converse in music as much as we need to be able to read it.
