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!
