    Laura did an assessment to determine what gaps might be needing some addressing. She works with my daughter rather than simply directing her. The annual recitals are a casual but clear way of seeing how far these students have come.

    Laura knows how to tailor the lessons to your own pace. She challenges and encourages you, but you never feel overwhelmed. Laura’s feedback during each lesson is always positive, honest and encouraging. Her lessons combine issues of musicality and technique, making them varied and interesting, so you never feel bored or that your progress is stalling. Beyond just learning technique, with Laura you will learn and appreciate the joy of playing music.

    Laura is very very nice. I had no musical ability at all. Now I am learning to read music and keep time. I am learning to finger keys and to use proper embouchure. Music is a life long adventure and she will give you an excellent beginning. Thank you.
