“Lauren is the best! Starting off every lesson we would catch up and go through what I had done that week and what my goals were for the upcoming week. I really struggled with being overwhelmed and finding time to practice. Lauren met me where I was at and would help plan each day of practice. This really helped me structure my time especially since I was a part of other extracurriculars including playing soccer and running cross country along with playing for my school orchestra and in the Chicago Youth Symphony. This also continued to when I was working on college auditions. Although recitals and auditions are nerve racking, the preparation that Lauren helped me with made them go much more smoothly than I could have done without her!”

“Lauren is a wonderful teacher! With her help and coaching our daughter auditioned and was accepted into the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra, and toured Europe with them! Lauren is compassionate and understanding as well as extremely talented! She knows how to help her students strive to and achieve their potential. In addition to helping her audition, she also enabled our daughter to put together a successful 60 minute solo recital. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Lauren. In addition to her teaching skills, she is also a phenomenal performer!”
