"Maren's passion and ability to connect with students, inspiring them to achieve their best musicianship, is a rare talent. My daughter Eva has been taking weekly violin lessons with Maren for two years. Initially, Eva had lukewarm interest, but Maren has guided her along the way. Eva considers Maren a trusted advisor and loves working with her. Maren has encouraged Eva to join the school’s orchestra, recommended summer camps, supported her in her audition for the Advanced Orchestra (for which she was selected), and helped her select and purchase her first adult-size violin.
Maren is a natural teacher and leader. Her kind personality, authentic love for music, and experience in the music industry allow her to relate to students of all ages and backgrounds. Her effective communication and organizational skills make her ideal for Key to Change Studio’s mission to provide high-level musicianship to underserved students."

"Maren has inspired my tween and teen daughters to find joy in music. She is both a relatable and inspirational music teacher with plenty of expertise. I'm so grateful that we found her when we were searching for a piano teacher in the area!"
