My friend Laura and I could not stop talking!

She has been teaching piano for 30 years, and teaches cello as well.

Like me, she has mentored students with teaching also.

Laura has developed an innovative way of teaching adults that is flexible, automated, and supports them in their musical goals!  

She had me laughing hard more than once! 

Her top 3 tips for beginning teachers

1. Don't be afraid to teach differently than how you were taught

2. Have mentors. Connect! Ask questions and keep learning

3. Connect with students as a person and what excites them.

Be patient and encouraging. Enjoy the journey!
