Hello! Thank you for your interest in my profile. I teach piano, trumpet, French horn, music theory, ESL and early childhood music classes. My certifications are in ESL and Music Together, a class for children with a guardian. I am a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music and the University of Notre Dame. I've played and taught all over the world. I've played with singers from Frank Sinatra to Diana Ross, Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons to Luciano Pavarotti and Placido Domingo. Some major accomplishments include an invitation to the White House, over 50 solo performances with orchestras starting with The Philadelphia Orchestra at age 15, a performance for the Princess of Thailand, and early television performances starting at age 7. I incorporate fun songs into the lessons as well as technique. For English, each lesson includes vocabulary, grammar, reading, speaking and pronunciation. My teachers included Eleanor Sokoloff, Susan Starr, and Dale Clevenger. I've taught for 34 years, and have a proven track record of success. I've never had a student to date that didn’t succeed in their auditions. I’ve taught at Universities including The University of Notre Dame, The University of Tennessee, The Chinese University and the Academy of Performing Arts in Hong Kong. I adore my students. Each one needs to be assessed and taught differently. I teach in Avondale-Kennett Square-Chaddsford, West Chester, Hockessin with possibility of travel 10 minutes away.

Lori is a very capable and patient teacher, and is very good at adapting her instruction to my pace and needs.
Lori is an excellent teacher, knowledgeable, patient and good looking.
Lori did not seem Interested in getting to know my daughter and did not seem very professional (she seemed to be in a closet at the beginning of the lesson?). We will look for another on-line piano teacher.
