Maddy Reid
Past Notes
December 16th, 2025
In Maddy's lesson we sang through Jen Johnson's Goodness of God, and worked through some things she can do to give the song gutsiness and intimacy.
She's away next week.
December 9th, 2025
We went through Sunday's songs together. Summer might not be able to come on Sunday, so we also did Summer's songs in case Maddy has to fill in for her. I'm going to lower the key of one of the songs (Adore) to E to make it easier for her to sing.
December 2nd, 2025
We went over the songs for this Sunday, and Maddy was able to sing all of the harmonies, really without any problem! On Way Maker we went to the piano and hammered out some parts she was having trouble with that, but other than this, it was great!
November 18th, 2025
Maddy's not coming in today.
November 4th, 2025
We sang through songs for this Sunday, the one Maddy is singing melody on, and the harmonies of the others ones.
October 28th, 2025
We worked on harmonies again, first Mary Had a Little Lamb, and then trying some songs. We decided on Shepherd, and worked through the verses, which were kind of easy, and then the chorus which was trickier.
October 21st, 2025
We worked on singing harmonies on simple melodies like 1 2 3 4 5, and Mary Had a Little Lamb.
We then did singing of the notes in a chord, first 1 3 5, then 5 1 3 in different places.
We then tried to find harmonies for 10,000 Reasons.
October 7th, 2025
We sang together through the songs for this Sunday, and Maddy even got some harmonies!! Great job Maddy! xo
September 23rd, 2025
I screwed up, and asked my 2:00 pm student to come at 2:30 because I'd forgotten that Maddy was coming today! SO SORRY MADDY! UGH! I've got a bad record with you.
September 16th, 2025
We worked on harmony this week, and we sang through a couple of songs including a new one for the church this Sunday, which Maddy did really well on. She's getting the instinct for harmony! We found that she finds higher harmonies more easily (I think?) than the lower harmonies.

September 10th, 2025
Maddy and I went through some of Sunday songs, and did some harmony too, (which she's getting down!!) We lowered the key of one song she's singing to G to make it easier to get the high notes.
June 23rd, 2025
Maddy isn't coming tonight.
June 16th, 2025
It looks like I didn't take any notes last week, sorry.
We started out with trying to sing harmony on Open the Eyes of My Heart. There were some issues here and there so I suggested we try at the piano, and I worked through some of the approaches again from last time.
I demonstrated the way harmonies can follow the melody but still have to be the same notes that are in the chords.
We ended by printing out Mary Had a Little Lamb and she played through it a couple of times on the piano.
