Happy Halloween!🎃 All of my piano students composed their own Halloween pieces/songs this year. I wasn’t sure how they would feel about this project, but they all loved it & were really into it! I was thrilled & pleasantly surprised!! Some of them even want to compose their own Christmas & Hanukkah pieces now. Enjoy!!👻

We feel so lucky to have found Laurie through word of mouth — she was exactly what my 1st grader needed at a time when his confidence around reading had taken a hit. Laurie is kind, warm, and wonderfully welcoming. She created a safe, encouraging space where he could build skills without fear of failure. Her strong focus on phonics, coupled with her patient and diligent approach, helped him regain his footing and start to believe in himself again.

I can’t recommend her enough.
