Maggie Edmondson

Maggie taught my daughter for over ten years and is extraordinary. A wonderful, kind person as well as the consummate professional.

Maggies superb musicianship and ability to inspire communicates in very tangible ways to her students. She is a consummate professional that is passionate about her craft, but it’s also her sensibility with young people that makes her such a great choice as a private instructor. She is a wonderful balance of firm and encouraging. Our daughter actually wants to practice her cello and looks forward to her lessons — AMAZING! Maggie keeps things interesting and pushes just enough to challenge and not frustrate. My husband and I are both professional musicians and could have chosen from many private studios. We are completely thrilled and feel privileged to have our daughter study with such a remarkable instructor.”

Maggie has been my cello teacher for nearly 3 years and in that time she has shown me the way to playing with ease and confidence. Her approach is one that accommodates the natural mechanics of the body in such a way as to allow the player to make music without experiencing discomfort or, shudder, pain. It is a particular joy to study with someone who has mastered the mysteries of the instrument and is also an outstanding professional. I say this as a professional concert pianist with a similar approach to teaching and performing. Neil Stannard, DMA

Maggie is my daughter’s cello teacher and we LOVE her! This is a delightful surprise as my 9 year old daughter was very resisstant about taking music lessons. Now, not only is she proud of her developing cello skills but through Maggie’s patient, engaged and respectful teaching style she is learning invaluable LIFE LESSONS about intention, process, hard work and mastery. Maggie is definitely a gem.
