Testimonials on Dr. Madeline Frank

Profile article (excerpt) from the Saint Leo College/University Newspaper

"Her teaching sessions are sprinkled with large doses of compassion, caring and understanding. A firm believer in emphasizing the positive and never the negative, several of her violin and cello students served as testimony to her teaching methods at a recent recital. Blended with the sweet sounds of the strings were dominant tones ringing of self-confidence, high-esteem and a general atmosphere that shouted, 'hey- this hi-brow stuff is fun!'"

Leonard A. Freedman, Ed.S. Director for the Saint Leo College Adult Education Program

"It is with pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Dr. Madeline Frank. I have known Dr. Frank for ten years and as a Director for the Saint Leo College Adult Education Program in Hampton Roads, I employed her as a professor of music. Dr. Frank is an outstanding teacher. She is highly motivated, well-versed and prepared, and caring not only for her students, but also the organization for which she works. Dr. Frank has the ability to inculcate in her students an understanding and appreciation for the subject being taught. She has demonstrated a quality of innovation by developing special topic courses in music which have been incorporated into the Fine Arts curriculum.

Dr. Frank is internationally known as a musician having performed throughout Europe (London, Paris, Vienna), Australia and China. She has also performed in major cities in the United States and has had some of her concerts recorded; all of which can only bring prestige and recognition to the institution that employs her."

Dr. Aqueil Ahmad , Professor of the Department of Business at Walden University

"First and foremost, Madeline is a gifted musician who also believes in the redeeming social and psychological qualities of her art. The topic of her dissertation, "A Total Quality Arts Program for the 90s," is unique in that it attempts to bridge the gap between the arts and the art and science of management. Using Demming’s celebrated concept of Total Quality Management(TQM) as a frame work of reference, her work suggests a model approach to explain what may be wrong with music education in America and what can be done to correct it.

…Her research has a moral agenda. Two of the basic assumptions in her Ph.D. work are that character-building is lacking in American school and college education, and that music helps build character. Hence the implication: music education must be improved and expanded not only for cultural enrichment and personal enjoyment but also as a social necessity to build the sagging character of America’s youth. This challenging implication….suggested relationship between music education and such character traits as confidence, self-esteem, discipline, and team spirit-traits that our youth would ill-afford not to possess. Given her considerable musical talent, her faith in music as the highest form of human achievement, and her knowledge about organizing and managing high quality music education., I feel Dr. Frank has a great deal to contribute to the world of music as well as to education as an instrument of human development."

Dr. Martin Gerstein, Professor of Psychology, at Walden’s University

"A high energy, multi-potentialed, and gifted women who will continue to make important contributions as a teacher, educator, and researcher".

Randy Gilbert, host of The Inside Success Show

"I interviewed Madeline Frank, author of 'The Secret of Teaching Science and Math Through Music', on The Inside Success Show and loved every moment. She’s a genius when it comes to music. She’s taken her passion and has solved one of the biggest problems of our time, teaching math. Her wit and fun stories made the interview lively and memorable. My audience loved her."
