A Note from Maddie: 

Hello! My name is Maddie Meier, and I am a Conductor, Singer and Educator, originally from St. Louis Missouri. 

​

From an early age, I have always loved performing and creating music. I don't remember ever not exploring its world. I come from a family of musicians, both on my father’s and mother's sides. Every holiday, my siblings, cousins, and I would plan and put together little musical performances for my family. It was always so much fun!

 

Additionally, ever since I was a child, I intuitively knew I would become a teacher. I believe that teaching comes in many different forms. It can occur conventionally, in a classroom for example, or on the stage, through performance. Performance teaches both the audience and performer about who we are. Performing, in its truest form, inspires. 

​

Music changes people's lives. It is truly a superpower to create something so touching, beyond words. The making of music is a transformative experience. As a teacher, I can see how the exploration of sound in a collaborative setting contributes immensely to our students' lives, in both learning and social spheres. 

​

When I teach, three of the strongest values I hope to promote within the rehearsal space are Community, Respect and Equality. When we can make positive change on a smaller scale, this impact expands out into our larger community and world.

 

I would not be the person, performer and educator I am today without the teachers that invested in me, and it is a true privilege and joy to pass this impact on to my own students. I believe that the investments that we make in others truly become the gifts that keep on giving.
