Beginner, Intermediate, AdvancedAbout Laura S.
I am charismatic and have a deep passion for piano! My career and studies center around classical piano, so you gain a teacher that is actively working in the same field they teach in. I work extensively in my community, promoting music through accompaniment, performances and teaching free music classes.

Lara was skillful with my special needs child. She paced the lesson well and varied the learning activities.

Laura is a dynamite piano instructor! She cares deeply about the power of music and very effectively teaches others how to enjoy expression of music on the piano. Her knowledge of the piano is superb. Laura will provide a nurturing environment to a beginning student and has the skills to challenge and improve a piano student at any level.

So knowledgeable and organized.
