Depending on student needs and interest, lessons may include:
Classical repertoire

Music theory
Ear training

Competition and audition coaching
Creative artistry and expression
Every lesson is thoughtfully designed around each student's unique goals, personality, and learning style.
Teaching Philosophy
Technique in Service of Expression
Lauren believes that piano lessons should nurture the whole musician.
Technical skill provides the foundation, but imagination, curiosity, listening, and communication transform notes into meaningful music.
Students are encouraged to think independently, solve musical problems creatively, and develop confidence through exploration rather than fear of mistakes.
Studio life extends beyond weekly lessons through recitals, outreach performances, piano gatherings, and opportunities to experience the joy of sharing music with others.
Whether students pursue conservatory training or simply continue playing throughout their lives, Lauren hopes every student leaves with a deep appreciation for beauty, discipline, creativity, and artistic expression.
