Reviews

“My son has been taking piano and singing lessons with Laurel for 2 years, and he has honestly enjoyed every lesson. Laurel provides a holistic approach to music education that goes far beyond reading music. In her lessons, she incorporates music theory, ear training, exposure to a variety of musical and performing styles, and fosters creativity and expression. She gently encourages my son to stretch and try different styles of music. Through all of this, Laurel is unfalteringly patient, positive, and kind. I feel incredibly lucky to have Laurel giving my son such a well-rounded, positive music education, and I highly recommend her!” - Christina

“Laurel is wonderful --- experienced, knowledgeable, patient, focused, and a very gifted musician herself. She is providing voice lessons in a musical theatre style for one daughter, and preparing another daughter for opera and classical performance, as well as teaching her piano. We're very happy with her ability to work well with two very different musicians, voices, and learning styles!” - Caroline B
