MADDY'S MUSIC MISSION
Over the years of her professional musician and teaching work, Maddy heard story after story from too many people who had given up on their passion for music because of poor experiences with bad teachers, outdated instruction methods, and rigid, antiquated approaches to pedagogy. Thus her passion for updating "the MUSIC CODES" was born.
Maddy's mission is to return music to the people by making it fun, accessible to adults, easy to understand, and most importantly, using music as a tool to empower individual and collective consciousness. A lifelong musician, Maddy's Music Method was carved and refined through the fire of Maddy's personal struggle to break free of traditional music mindsets that had held her back from her own musical potential.

WHAT IS MADDY'S MUSIC METHOD?
Maddy’s Music Method teaches music as a language while simultaneously leveraging the human brain's strongest evolutionary learning ability: pattern recognition.
The rules of music are simple, “coded” and absolute. By approaching music from a pattern-based, linguistically-driven understanding, music learning is made easy, simple and fun!

WHO IS MADDY'S MUSIC METHOD FOR?
Maddy's Music Method is for anyone who desires to begin, deepen or reignite their relationship with music. Maddy believes that access to music education is not only a human right but an essential component of an individual's self-realization process, which she believes is the foundation of all healthy, democratic societies.

HOW DOES MADDY'S MUSIC METHOD WORK?
While music can often sound complex to our ears, music theory is actually quite simple. Musical sound breaks down into a binary code of "half" and "whole" steps. Much like computer programming, these two elements are combined into a standard pattern: the Major Scale. This 7-note “code” is the building block of all Western music, from simple Rock and Roll to deeply complex Symphonic works.
Maddy’s Music Method begins with an understanding of the Major Scale: how to build, recognize and play it. Once this simple but powerful principle is understood, the student’s musical journey is unleashed!

WHAT MAKES MADDY'S MUSIC SPECIAL?
Unlike traditional music methods that focus on reciting songs before students can understand or even “speak” a word of music, Maddy’s Music Method employs the brain’s preferred approach to language comprehension: interactive play!
Think of how children learn to speak: through listening and reciprocal conversation. Baseline fluency and self-expression are established before perfecting the “reading and writing” process. The power behind Maddy’s Music Method is it’s organically expressive (v. academically rigid) approach to semantics.

WHY CHOOSE MADDY'S MUSIC METHOD?
Musicians who understand the “grammar” of music are able to “speak” it on their own terms, play with other musicians, transcribe their favorite musicians’ songs and even write their own music! Not only do these musicians who learn music in this way receive more personal gratification, improved cognitive function and neural plasticity from their practice, they are more likely to develop a lifelong relationship with music.
