Madeline Stratford

Madeline has studied music from an early age, starting with the Piano from age 3. The great ‘classic’ composers (Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt) inspired her throughout her musical development, and modern composers such as Hans Zimmer, John Williams & Harry Gregson-Williams continue to do so today. Madeline co-created Stratford Music with her husband Chris in 2011, and has taught thousands of Piano students at their music school since. Madeline can play a wide variety of genres, and is focused on creating lessons for the individuals needs, to inspire creativity & excitement. She has been tutoring professionally for 15 years, and still enjoys picking up new instruments to keep learning. Cello, Violin, Drums and Guitar are among the other instruments she jams with. Madeline writes scores for Sheet Music Direct & Sheet Music Plus, and her Piano recordings can be found on Spotify & Youtube Music. She is keen to bring more of her knowledge to the Ultimate Guitar team, with additional courses specializing in Piano and Music Theory.
