Beginner, Intermediate, AdvancedAbout Lauren S.
Hello! My name is Lauren S., and I am excited to bring out the musician in you!
We have all sorts creating and learning—children and adults in their first lessons, teens and preteens performing and competing, working professionals looking for a creative love, and retirees coming back to an instrument from many years before. We have parents & children, siblings, and friends who learn and love to make music together!
Whether you're searching for yourself or your child, I would love to invite you to Musical Life—my beautiful in-home studio—and help you meet your musical goals.
We focus on developing true artistry and giving them the fundamental tools to be able to play and create various styles of music including classical, musical theater, folk, contemporary, Christian, and more.
We play from the very first lesson and learn other concepts such as music theory, literacy, and technique in subsequent lessons.
My students are involved in school & community ensembles, school & community theater, and district contests. I support and seek out these opportunities according to their interests.
Please send me a note! I can't wait to get started.

She is such a good voice coach. She watches you and knows exactly what to work on with you. She challenges you and also is very comfortable to work with. I highly recommended lessons with Lauren!!

I thank God that I have Lauren as my violin teacher. As a new learner I fell comfortable and extremely confident with her. She is amazing, very patient, and helps me with all my errors or helps me on how to improve.
Thank you from the bottom my heart!! God bless you in everything you do and your family!

Very nice and professional

Lauren is so nice and she does her absolute best to help you achieve your singing goals and go even further!

Lauren is a patient caring instructor. She uses lots of praise for the students and listens to what the say. She treats the students and adults with courtesy and respect. I highly revommend Lauren as a piano instructor.

Fabulous. She is energetic and inspiring, and makes the student feel good about their efforts. We’ve only had 2 lessons, but already I’m a big fan!

Aubrey loves her lessons with lauren! Lauren is very knowledgeable and helps Aubrey at her level. Aubrey is excited and can't wait until her next lesson. We appreciate lauren and all she does to help Aubrey!

My 16 year old daughter is not only enjoying her lessons with Lauren and motivated to practice regularly, she is advancing at a strong pace due to the intuitive and creative teaching skills that a Lauren creates for my daughter! I get the sense that lessons are prepared with thoughtful consideration and attention to my daughter's needs and ability with the future goals always attended to! So far Lauren has been an excellent teacher for my child!🤗
