Laura has been a fantastic teacher for our 4 year old. She has the perfect temperament and attitude for teaching younger students. Like many 4 year olds, ours is a bit light on patience, but she has enough for the both of them, and has an excellent approach that allows for his own exploration. Also, I personally enjoy watching the musical approach that she uses. It's different than what I learned as a child but find it very appealing to our son. Highly recommended!

Great Teacher! I decided to pick up the piano a little late in life. As an adult learner, with a very busy schedule, Laura has worked with me and my schedule and is very understanding......especially when life gets in the way. She has tailored my lessons based on my wants and needs. Laura is patient and conducts the lessons in a low stress environment. She has an amazing knowledge base of music/music theory and finds different ways to explain things so it builds on what you have learned in the past. I have also had the opportunity to sit in on some of her lessons with children. She knows how to keep them positive, relaxed, and focused all while learning music. You can tell she loves music and loves teaching. Thanks Laura!

Both an accomplished pianist and composer Laura is also a very kind and personable teacher that students of every age and ability would appreciate. Laura was my piano instructor for the three years prior to my attending college where I majored in music. I am very grateful for the time I spent studying with Laura as I was well prepared for college auditions and the many challenges of pursuing music. Prior to meeting Laura I had been playing piano for ten years but had only taken part in a few recitals and concerts and had played little of the standard repertoire. Thankfully Laura introduced me to classical masterpieces such as Chopin's Nocturnes and Bach's Inventions and provided many opportunities, such as community events and adjudicated performances, to present all the music I learned with her skillful guidance. Many of the composers that Laura introduced to me remain my favorites today including Brahms, Ravel and Rachmaninoff.
