About Us
Maestro Makers, Southeastern Wisconsin’s premier in-home and online music school, is dedicated to making music lessons a fun, comfortable, and convenient experience for students of all ages and skill levels. In addition to enhancing one’s musical abilities, Maestro Makers prioritizes a love for music and fosters an eagerness for learning and playing.
Our roster of instructors are not only some of the most talented music teachers in the area, but also performers of the highest caliber. Here, the same gifted performers inspire students and provide master instruction. Maestro Makers will harness each student’s natural ability, and develop their expression in the place where the student feels the most comfortable and open to learning, his or her own home.
We’re currently offering lessons in the Milwaukee and Madison areas, for Piano, Violin, Cello, Clarinet, Drums, Flute, Guitar, Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, Tuba, Bassoon, Oboe, Ukulele, Viola, and Voice.
“Choosing Maestro Makers was one of the best parenting decisions we have ever made. The incredible convenience of having an in-home lesson has allowed our son to grow his confidence as a musician and student.”

“I have been taking lessons with Maestro Makers for a few years. I am an older student and very grateful for the fact that they come to my house. I would not make the effort to go to someone else’s studio. Lessons in my home have made it possible for me to continue with something that I truly enjoy and which would not have been possible otherwise.”

How much should I practice?
Practice recommendations vary by instrument, experience level, age, and your music teacher. Your instructor will make recommendation as to how much practice time should be allocated.
Do you have a referral policy?
Yes. Refer a friend to us and, once they complete 3 lessons, you get a credit for one free 30 minute lesson! The person that you refer should let us know that you provided the name in advance of starting any lessons. Refer as many times as you would like.

Cancellations are sometimes unavoidable. Please refer to our policies section for more details. Rescheduling is at the discretion and availability of your music teacher.

Are there any extra fees?

Do I need to own an instrument?

If you are interested in piano and do not have one that’s acoustic, a full-size, 88 key, digital piano with weighted keys, is an appropriate alternative. As for drums, a full drum set is not required. Sticks and a practice pad serve as a good starting point. Your instructor can help determine what’s best for you.
