    Hi! Spanish: I have been speaking Spanish fluently since 2008! I love kids and love sharing Spanish and my love of language with others! I graduated from Indiana University in 2013, with a minor in Spanish! I have been speaking Spanish fluently since 2008, when I studied with IU Honors Program in Leon, Spain for 7 weeks! We spoke only in Spanish the entire summer, and took classes in grammar, literature, culture, and accent work. I have been speaking consistently and fluently ever since! I have taught several students in Spanish, whether tutoring for a school class or starting at the very beginning for students who just want to speak better, I have loved every Spanish teaching experience! Piano: I teach beginners and intermediate levels, ages 4 and up! I am doing my masters in music education at Butler right now, and have a passion for teaching music!! These lessons will be 100% what you want them to be! If you want theory knowledge, I'll include that! If you want to be able to accompany yourself while singing, let's make it happen! I think chords are a very important part of piano lessons so that students have a harmonic context for their playing, so I love including that! Violin: I have been playing violin since 1st grade and can teach all levels! I have taught all ages, and all styles! Bluegrass, classical, whatever you want! Whatever you want to be a part of your lessons, we can do it! These are for you! I love the "Introducing the Positions" book for shifting practice for more advanced students, and like to incorporate these into lessons! Let me know what exactly you're looking for and I can curate our lessons accordingly! Have an awesome day and thanks for viewing my profile! Laurel

    Lauren is a wonderful teacher. She really works hard to help match her teaching content to my child's unique interests and abilities. She's patient and enthusiastic, and you can tell she loves what she does (even on the days my child's attention span wanes).

    Good explaining things. Flexible. Engaging. Just right for me.

    My daughter loves the time she spends with Laurel, and Laurel is so patient. She chooses appropriately challenging pieces for my daughter to try and was willing to personalize the lesson time to fit daughter's interests. It's been great!
