Personal Statement

I believe that progressive teaching must employ constructive pedagogical strategies to foster meaningful musical experiences for students to build and to exhibit competence. My pedagogical model is comprised of a student-centered approach to produce attainable challenges and to affect affirmative changes that will physically, technically, and emotionally enrich each student’s performance.

During instruction, I exercise scaffolding methods to facilitate the students’ zone of proximal development and innovative questioning to augment students’ cognitive thinking and critical thinking skills. The process of musical learning is purposeful when it is facilitated within a nurturing environment to motivate the students’ intrinsic interests and that is my goal!

As a voice professional, I specialize in Contemporary Commercial Music. As a piano professional. I specialize in Classical Music. I am certified by the New York Singer Teacher’s...

Hello Music Lovers!

My name is Lauren, and I'm a piano and voice teacher based in Brooklyn. I love music more than anything (even animals, iced coffee, shopping, and being outside on nice days!)

My musical journey started early: I was 4 when I begged my parents for a piano after 'playing' one at a distant relative's home. I haven't looked back since, and my entire life has been centered around listening to, creating, loving, and teaching music. I love all kinds of music: I grew up with old rock and classical, but quickly found that I loved jazz, r&b, musical theatre soundtracks, everything!

I have a large place in my heart for music theory, ear training, and composition, so if you have trouble with these topics or would like to get better at them, I am a good resource for that. It is my goal as a music teacher to give my students a strong, practical foundation that will translate to whatever they want to do in their musical career, non-specific of genre or instrument....

Music has always been a big part of my life and I really enjoy giving the gift of music to other people. I began teaching guitar lessons during high school after a family friend asked me if I could show him a few things. From there I developed my technique as a teacher and my roster of students grew through word of mouth before I went off to college.

EDUCATION

I attended New York University in the fall of 2004, majoring in Music Composition at the Steinhardt School of Education. I studied privately with Dr. Joseph Church, who was the Music Director for the Lion King on Broadway, as well as The Who's Tommy. He was a true mentor and helped me hone my skills as a songwriter, lyricist and vocalist.

During my time at NYU I spent a year teaching group guitar lessons at the Edgies Teen Center in Lower Manhattan. In this low-income neighborhood it was really important to give my students an outlet to express themselves in a positive way by learning the importance of music....

After years of teaching all levels, and many different styles of voice and piano lessons, I can tell you this-- I LOVE teaching! My students have ranged from 5 to 45, from classical piano, or jazz/ pop piano to pop/ rock/ jazz singing, and no matter what we always have a great time. I guarantee that in our lessons, you will see progress almost immediately... but above all, learning music is FUN! :)

A little extra info....

I'm a professional musician and audio engineer. I'm a classically trained pianist and I offer lessons in piano, music theory, music recording, music performance, songwriting and voice.

Originating from Seattle, WA, I (married to a piano teacher) am a 20-something professional vocalist with a broad range of experience. Having professionally performed everything from opera to beat-boxing (it's true!), I can teach all styles. With a Bachelor of Music (Musical Theater) from Belmont University I am more than qualified to teach with a well supported foundation. As a professional singer in New York I know the importance of well supported talent, abounding confidence, and an excellent teacher.

As a true lover of music and arts, I encourage my students to overcome the vocal, physical, and mental boundaries that tend to crop up amongst performers. My confident and exciting approach to singing brings out the best in my students, which translates beautifully on stage.

Trust me, no one ever regretted taking voice lessons!
