Student Testimonials

"I am so grateful I started taking skype flute lessons with Lauren. My goal has been to improve my tone and develop a natural, rich sounding vibrato. I had an in-person flute teacher that was encouraging me to do long tone exercises to improve my tone which helped a little but she couldn't describe specific things I needed to make happen to achieve a better sound. After watching a couple of Lauren's You Tube videos I found that she had some good and very specific ways of describing the changes you have to make with your air and mouth to achieve more richness. I started out doing 30 min lessons but ended up doing 60 min lessons to fit in more of her extremely helpful exercises and feedback. I love how she keeps my main goals in mind and tailors our lessons around those while also keeping things fun. She leaves me with very specific helpful feedback to continue improving and concrete things to work on for the week. She is also very good at diagnosing what may be going wrong and playing examples of what not to do so I can hear it for myself and better wrap my head around the differences. I have been able to achieve a much better level of playing, technique, and tone than I was ever able to in school or my in-person lessons. I had no idea so much could be taught and learned through video lessons, it's very exciting!"

-Karyna, California

"I had been thinking about taking lessons to improve my tone for some time.  When, I joined a community band whose music had great flute parts that sometimes included notes in the flute's upper register, I knew I couldn't wait any longer. Enter Lauren to the rescue!  She listened to me play then made suggestions that included imagery which helped me visualize and internalize the concepts I needed to help set me on my path to becoming not only a better flutist, but a better musician overall.  Above and beyond her technical skills and methodology, what I find especially gratifying is Lauren's sincere desire to help her students improve as well as the joy she expresses when a breakthrough occurs.  As much as I enjoyed playing the flute before, I love it even more since my experience with Lauren."

-Glenn E., Florida

"Let me say how delightful it is to take lessons from Lauren. Lauren has a beautiful tone when she plays her flute which is what you would expect from a professional. What is surprising is how much her personality reflects her tone. She exudes a special charm and grace that reminds you of her sound. She is also a special teacher. You cannot help but get infected by her enthusiasm for playing the flute. Lauren is professional and methodical, but she makes each step a joy.  

 

There is no doubt that the flute playing helped me. It provided oxygenation and mental challenge. It set hope to music.

 

Thank you Lauren. 

 

If you would like a reference from an adult student, please call."
