Lesson Details
Classical Piano
- Levels Taught:
- Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
I choose and adapt songs according to the age, interests, goals, and skills of the students. I also use the songs to teach different musical concepts: intervals, progressions, scales, chords. Every student is different, so I don't use any specific method.
También disponible la clase en español.

About
- Teaches students:
- Ages 5+ and special needs
- Teaching since:
- 1996
I am a pianist, songwriter, and keyboard player and backup singer for a prog-rock band and also a music teacher.
I've been teaching music for a long time. Why? Because I love music and I love to teach. My mission statement: get you to enjoy music while learning.
The best moments on my work are when the students realize that they can play/sing something that they couldn't do before. I love their expressions at that moment.
I started playing music when I was 7: the recorder, the Spanish guitar, a double keyboard organ that I used to learn how to play the piano by myself. Later on, I started with official piano lessons and ended with my BA in piano.
My training was classical but I love new age music and jazz.

Write a ReviewGreat teacher! I'm enjoying her classes very much. I was so happy to find a teacher that is able to conduct the class towards my objectives and likes, and, at the same time, pushes my technique skills forward! I've being practicing a few different music styles, so far: classical, evergreens, rock, musicals. Glad that Laura has this wide range of knowledge. And classes are fun!
