Write a ReviewKind, patient, and knowledgeable.
My daughter looked forward to meeting with Lauren and felt like the work with Lauren was very helpful.
My teen son enjoyed his first lesson and working with Lauren! He's looking forward to continuing to work with her.
She made me feel like I wasn't doing anything wrong but at the same time encouraged me to keep improving through positive reinforcement.
My son enjoyed his 1st lessons with Lauren and he is ready to get more training from her..:)
Lauren is extremely pleasant to take lessons from. She was very patient and had various methods in the first lesson to ensure that the information stuck.
Great teacher - highly recommended!
My daughter has been with Lauren for a month now and she is loving it
Lauren is an exceptionally talented instructor. I am looking forward to the continued refinement of my singing voice.
Lauren has been a great piano teacher for our 8yrs old. She proves the appropriate amount of encouragement and challenge based on the student skill level. I would definitely recommend her!
My daughter came out of the lesson with a big smile and super excited about her experience with Lauren!
I really liked my piano lesson. My instructor is very kind and caring. My instructor individualizes our lessons so none are ever the same and my lessons are different from someone else's. My lessons go at my own pace. She makes sure to practice things that I struggle with and gives me constructive criticism. She says and does it all in a positive way and it causes me to really enjoy my lessons.
+ Read MoreLauren is such a patient and thorough teacher. She designed each lesson based on my progress and learning style. I feel like I made so much progress in my singing and speaking because she was an astute listener and helpful guide. Also, I enjoyed going to each lesson.
