Review for Musical Arts Institute, Chicago, IL, USA
My initial experience with MAI was as the parent of a student. The music school was just being organized but the caliber of instruction was superb. It was beyond anything being offered at that time. The instructors were professionals who taught the students not just how to play an instrument but how to hone a craft, how to nurture and develop a gift and in doing so how to grow themselves. After graduating from parent of a student to board member I’ve had the opportunity to watch the owners and administrators work tirelessly to shape and build an institution that serves the student, the family and the community. I believe that MAI has changed lives in a profound way, as only art can do.
