"I started taking lessons from Laura upon the recommendation of staff at the SF Conservatory and my previous cello teacher. Her lessons are always engaging; we work, we laugh, and I learn a ton. Laura is responsive to my individual needs and goals. She knows when to push and when to give me time to develop. As a young cellist -I'm 37, but I've only been playing 3 years- I appreciate the respect Laura has for me as a musician. In the year I've been taking lessons with her, I have made significant growth. I know this is due in no small part to the care and support, deep knowledge, and skill that Laura brings to her lessons. Laura is an accomplished and dedicated musician and teacher. I am so happy to be working with her. Laura is fantastic."    — Nobie, adult student
