"Lauren is truly the most wonderful violin teacher. My kid started taking lessons with her 9 months ago and they have progressed to the point of wanting to join an orchestra! Their skill and confidence in playing the violin has grown immensely and it's a total joy to see them be excited about music and their instrument. Lauren is sweet, personable, organized, professional, and understanding. There have been days when my kid has shown up to their lesson, is exhausted, and doesn't want to play. I have seen Lauren pivot the plan to make the lesson easier and more fun. She can read my kid's energy level and enthusiasm, and always has the long game in mind when teaching. I cannot recommend Lauren enough--I wish she were my violin teacher!" -Helen Harding, Parent
"We are not your normal Suzuki Students. Jack and I started our musical journey late in life.
Both of us are in our seventies and Lauren has been our teacher for 7 years. So, let me say that
Lauren is a gift to us, as well as an inspiration and a patient and encouraging teacher. She
shares techniques to practice challenging parts, guides in a disciplined yet fun way, and knows
when and how to help us grow. We also respect her as a talented violinist and have attended
many of her concerts. Of course, she is a great teacher for young students, but adults also
benefit greatly from her expertise.
Thank you, Lauren!"

"Lauren is our 6 year old son's wonderful first violin teacher! She is kind, patient, creative, and very talented both as a musician and as a Suzuki teacher. I would highly recommend her!" -Leah Chacko, Parent
"Lauren is a great teacher! She has helped me improve so much musically and her classes are simply so fun, too! I look forward to my lesson each week. She has helped me accomplish goals I never thought I would have before, like making it into one of my high school's upper level orchestras!" -Elif Saglik, Student
"I really like that Lauren is enthusiastic and always ready for a good joke and she is very good at teaching songs. What makes her good at teaching songs is that she makes it so beautiful every time she plays a song. I enjoy the hippopotamus bow at the start and learning new songs and playing them." -Milo B, Student
"We have enjoyed violin lesson with Lauren right from the start. She is patient, encouraging, and adaptable. I love that she meets my 9 year olds energy and tailors the lesson to fit how he feels. She is positive and delightful and my son's violin lesson with her is a highlight of our week." -Allia B, Parent

"Lauren is simply amazing! She is kind, supportive, fun and an excellent teacher. We truly enjoy lessons and Lauren’s studio recitals.” - Julie Tobi, Parent
"Thanks Lauren for her kindly patience, she always advises from kid’s perspective, sometimes just a small tip can bring a significant improvement which makes my kid be getting more and more confident and gradually engaged even with different culture background. We will have her elaborate class notes after every week’s lesson which is quite helpful in this special and tough period. My daughter loves her so much and is being so excited to have every week’s violin lesson. We are so lucky to have her teaching our kid, and really appreciate her help in the past two years." -Jia Geng, Parent
