Madison teaches flute and piano to all ages and is always happy to talk to prospective students.

Lessons are available at her home studio in downtown Hamilton, online, and across the GTA.

Madison’s students consistently score highly in RCM examinations, compete and place highly or win in Kiwanis Competitions, and are securing spots in youth orchestras.

Madison is happy to talk with you about what musical goals you are looking to achieve, and to help you set and work towards performance opportunities which will challenge you and help you grow as a musician.

Some of her favourite things to work on with students are developing sound and understanding how it comes together; making technical practice fun; and learning how to shape phrases. Bonus: helping students develop a love for baroque music!

  • “Madison is a wonderful and talented flute teacher. She is so patient, kind, and encouraging with our kid, and she makes every lesson enjoyable. Our child always looks forward to his lessons with her and comes away feeling excited to keep practicing and learning. You will be surprised by how much progress your child can make with Madison’s guidance. We’re very grateful to have Madison as his teacher and would highly recommend her to other families.”

  • “I am an older student trying to master the flute for a number of years and with several in-person flute teachers. I have now been a weekly online flute student of Madison’s for over three years. Over this time, Madison has inspired me to learn and enjoy learning to play scales, studies, and repertoire on both the baroque and C flute across the range of Renaissance, Baroque, classical, Romantic, and contemporary genres. Madison’s encyclopedic practical knowledge of musical subtleties (“Oh, I can hear something, you could clean that note up by doing this”), inspiring learning strategies (“I think you might enjoy practicing this!”), always upbeat and positive (“I’ve had such a wonderful day”), inspiring (“You’re doing so well”), all from the comfort and convenience of my own home! Madison is organized, timely, patient, attentive, and responsive – she cares deeply; this isn’t just a job! Oh, and by the way – my experience is that online is just as effective as in-person classes – and in Madison’s case, you can access world-class training wherever you are. I strongly recommend Madison as a music teacher!”

  • “Madison is the reason that my daughter still plays her flute - she encouraged her to join the school band and performed live for the first time. If you are looking for a teacher with patience, inspiration and knowledge, Madison is the one.”

  • Studying flute with Ms. Madison Deppe has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my musical journey. Over the years, she has helped me grow not only as a flute player, but also as a more confident, expressive, and well-rounded musician. What I appreciate most about Ms. Madison is how genuinely she cares about her students and their development. She is always willing to go above and beyond, including spending extra time after lessons when needed, to help me understand something, solve a challenge, or find new ways to improve. Her knowledge, patience, and encouragement have pushed me to become a better musician and have given me the confidence to take on challenges I never would have imagined myself doing before. Ms. Madison has supported me through many important milestones in my musical journey, including earning my recent RCM Gold Medal and achieving a first-place result at Provincials. Behind each of these accomplishments has been her guidance, encouragement, and belief in my abilities. I truly don’t think I would have reached this point without her. Beyond teaching me how to play the flute, Ms. Madison has taught me how to approach music with greater confidence, discipline, and passion. She has made learning the flute something I genuinely look forward to, and I am incredibly grateful for everything she has taught me and continues to teach me.

  • “Madison is such a great flute instructor. She had a passion for flute that just resonated with me and made it so much fun to learn. Not only that but is such a delightful person to be around, this has made my experience playing flute so much better and enjoyable as we joked around and got to know one another! She had so many techniques, practices, and repertoire to choose from that helped expand my understanding as a university student and my skills. Thank you Madison for all your hard work, you truly are such a blessing.”
