Laura believes in a positive-energy- based learning environment. She taught piano and violin in Chicago for two years before moving to Colorado where she has continued for the last 9 years. Her experience of home-schooling her three musically-talented children, convinced her that though originally a Business graduate, her heart is in music study and she has since changed careers. She plays both violin and piano. Recently asked by current student families to teach viola and cello, Laura is embracing the challenge to learn new instruments. She also loves to compose her own music. Outside interests include running marathons and cycling.
