“It has been such a pleasure taking piano with you all these years. I have learned a lot and have really enjoyed myself. I am so happy I stuck with it all the way through. Thank you for always being so understanding and flexible. That made it so much easier to keep going....
Thank you so much for helping to prepare me for music studies in college. I feel much more confident now, and I actually enjoyed learning all that theory.”

“Thank you for instilling in me a love of piano and music in general. It changed my life.”

“After defending my dissertation, I seriously thought about what I really want to do in life. I have always wanted to play the piano, but considered myself musically challenged. So, the first question that I asked Vicky was: Would you agree to teach a middle-aged absolute beginner who is possibly tone-deaf? I failed to mention (or didn't know it at the time) that I have difficulties following instructions and cannot do assignments in chronological order.
Taking lessons and getting to know Vicky is one of the best aspects in my Minnesotan life. I realized that learning a new skill requires a lot of repetition and this has made me more tolerant as a teacher (I teach German and Norwegian.) Vicky has been infinitely patient and has guided my progress with consideration for the most important thing - the joy of learning.”

“By our calculations, we've been with Vicky for 16-17 years of piano lessons! All three of our children have benefited from her love of music and children and her talent in teaching. We thank her for sharing these gifts with our children. She has the music in her, and helped to find ours as well. Our children have taken lessons from Vicky, starting in the second grade.
Vicky is always good with them, letting them set the pace but encouraging and challenging them to do their best. They learned about music, piano, study skills, and about themselves. We would recommend Vicky Mackerman to anyone of any age as a music instructor.”

“Several neighbors that I trust shared that their children take piano lessons with Vicky Mackerman on Eustis Street in Lauderdale. She has a great reputation so we decided to give it a try. We ended up finding a "starter piano" on Craiglist and signed our six year old son up for weekly 30 minute lessons with Ms. Mackerman. It has been a great experience. She is wonderful with my young son and he has a learned a lot in a short amount of time…”

Just a quick note to let you know how much we appreciate you! Melvin is over this morning and he and Charlie have not only been playing piano together for the last 15 minutes, but their conversation is all about how great of a teacher you are ("She can just pick up any music and play....she's SOOOO good!"). Thank you for getting these two excited about music:)
