My Nonprofit Reviews

The Musical Arts Institute (MAI) has been an inspiration to numerous youth and adults in pursuing and developing their talents in the musical arts. For our daughter, they challenged her to rise to the next level in vocals and commitment. Michael and Lana Manson and the MAI Staff continue to open pathways for those who love music and for those who discover themselves in the midst of this pursuit. Now a Junior at the University of Notre Dame with a double major which includes music and also performing with their Folk Choir, our daughter continues to grow and develop her skillset because of the personalized and dedicated instruction and support that she received at MAI. I would recommend MAI highly for anyone who desires to develop and grow their musical skillset and for anyone who wants to continue to develop life skills.

What an awesome organization! MAI has been an asset and an inspiration not only for our daughter and us but also for many young people, especially people of color, across the Chicagoland area. Open and accessible to all, MAI is an oasis for youth and adults alike who are discovering and developing their musical and artistic talents. Vocalists and instrumentalists are continually emerging from and thru this organization. Excellence is part of the mantra of MAI. The Directors, instructors, and staff are genuinely invested in the lives of those who grace their doorstep. I would recommend MAI highly to anyone who is seeking a place to grow and maximize their skillset in the musical arts! If I could give it more than 5 stars, I most assuredly would!
