I am passionate about empowering individuals of all ages to connect, create, and thrive through music and multimedia arts. By blending traditional music education with innovative group projects and interactive performances, I hope to cultivate a vibrant community where creativity flourishes, skills are nurtured, and meaningful connections are built.

Through my teaching, events, and creative projects, I strive to unlock each student’s potential, foster collaboration across generations, and provide accessible opportunities for artistic expression. My vision is to make music not just a personal journey, but a powerful force for community, resilience, and joy.

Whether it’s teaching, composing, production consultant or artist liaison, I’ve been doing this a while and don’t see myself doing anything else.  After living on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe for 16 years I’m back in California, where I started my adventures in music and piano performance at CSUN.  I love teaching kids from 3 to 103, pre-school, elementary, intermediate through advanced.  A student performed in Carnegie Hall!  She was 8 years old and performed November 2015, June 2016 for their annual gala, and in April 2017!

I’ve designed and implemented music classes, composed for film and have taught many individuals who have continued their music studies to the professional level, those that move on to other instruments, and most just love and appreciation music. All the new ways to learn, apps, digital workstations are so exciting!  It’s getting even more advanced. It doesn’t matter if you’re the hobbyist or preparing for college entry, music is a part of everyday life, and I love teaching it!  Learn more about it! ♥️ Laura
