Madeleine was my violin teacher for 3 years when I was in grades 3 to 5 in Winnipeg from 1966 to 1969. Now at 66 years old and retired, I remember her for her enthusiasm for music and life in general. Went back to Winnipeg and visited her in 1985 which was the last time I saw her. I still try to channel her zest for life whenever I remember to. - Posted by: Dan Klingbeil (Student) on: Oct 30, 2024

Madelene Gauvin was an educated lady who loved her music, cats, and porcelain dolls, many of which she had made with her mother. She had taught me many things apart from music. First, she taught me the importance of being punctual. Second, she taught me the importance of being a perfectionist when it came to music. When I came in to her house, she could never turn off the radio until the piece of music was finished. Her half hour lesson was usually 45 minutes to an hour. She had terrible arthritis but did not stop her from teaching piano as she was well articulated with her words. I had learned much from this lady and in the end appreciated her far more than any other music teacher. Thanks Ms. Gauvin for being the person you were. - Posted by: Elizabeth Klassen (Piano student) on: Jul 30, 2013
