    About Lauren K.

    5.0
    (7)
    I've had a lifelong love of music, nurtured in part by my own childhood music study. In addition to teaching private lessons, I teach music at a K-8th grade school, and I'm a singer-songwriter who has performed in various venues around the L.A. area. For my music education training, I completed levels 1 and 2 of Orff Schulwerk at Cal State L.A. Often called elemental music education, Orff Schulwerk is an approach to music education that includes movement, drama, speech, and a lot of student improvisation and composition. I also completed early childhood music education training through KinderMusik. I am a patient, perceptive person, and I love to figure out what makes children tick so I can connect them to music through their own interests and personality. I'd love to help your child realize their musical goals. And if you're an adult who's looking to try a new instrument, brush up, or learn to write songs, I would be happy to work with you as well.

    If you're trying to build a love of music in your child alongside the theory and practice of piano, Lauren is an excellent choice. She's gentle and fun, and will construct lessons that appeal to your child.
