Hi! My name is Lauren and I recently moved back to San Antonio after spending 10 years in NYC as a professional musical theater performer. Over the past few years, I've had the privilege of performing all over the country in some of my favorite shows! When I was not on stage, I worked at a reputable music school in Maplewood, NJ called Performers Theater Workshop. Over the four years I worked there, I had many students make their Broadway Debut! I had the privilege of teaching students Voice and Piano lessons. I received my Bachelor of Music Degree from The Boston Conservatory of Music in Vocal Performance and my Masters of Music Degree from New York University in Musical Theatre. I have been playing and studying piano for the past 20 years! With my experience, I am confident I can give you or your child the very best training one has to offer.
I have learned so much over the past few years teaching and professionally performing. I taught children ages 4-18 piano, voice and dance lessons. I discovered each age group requires a different style of teaching. I pride myself off of making sure the child feels comfortable in the lesson first and foremost. I like to connect with the student over common likes and dislikes. My style of teaching is positive and encouraging. I find commonalities in their likes and relate to what we are learning. I always want my lessons to be positive and productive. In order to insure success, I like to give my students music that they are excited about! I find this is the best way for the student to WANT to practice and get better. I love what I do and it gives me so much joy and fulfillment to see a student succeed and love music as much as I do!
As stated before, my first goal is to help the student feel comfortable in the lesson. I find that without this, a student will have a hard time succeeding. I myself am classically trained. This is also how I like to train my students. With a classical base training, a student can succeed in any style of music. I like to give the student a combination of a classical song and a current song they love. I have a background in Vocal Pedagogy (the study of the voice) so vocal health is extremely important to me. I make sure every sound coming out of the body is properly supported as to avoid any vocal injuries.
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students succeed in whatever they are passionate about. Whether that be making their Broadway Debut or learning to love music as much as I do. I encourage my students to set realistic goals for themselves at each lesson. I like to make each lesson fun but productive. I like to find commonalities in what I am teaching to their everyday life. With my years of experience both on the stage and off, I know I can give you or your child the very best training one has to offer!

Lauren is an incredible teacher. My daughter, Gabby started voice lessons with her when she was 6 years old. She wanted to sing an opera song “O Mio Babbino Caro” in Italian for her school talent show. She was already taking voice lessons but then LAuren was recommended to us. My daughter immediately adored LAuren and couldn’t wait to get her voice lesson. Lauren is patient and kind and really stresses the importance of proper technique for healthy vocals. She knows how to keep it fun. My child is very passionate and can get stuck in her latest (obsession) song. Lauren knows how to foster her passion and also get her to open her mind to new songs and styles that showcase her voice. Needless to say after my daughter sang her opera song there was not a dry eye in the house. People were blown away a 6 year old could sing such a complex song. Thanks to Lauren, she pulled it off. Later we moved to NYC. We continued lessons with LAuren off an on over the next 3 years. During that time my daughter got a manager and was auditioning professionally. Lauren coached her for auditions... not just voice but presentation, what song to pick, how to carry her self , walk into the room etc. LAuren has also been my go to for any questions in the business and has always responded timely. We have been to many voice teachers over the years, even longtime people who have been in the NYC biz for 25 years . Gabby always prefers to go to LAuren if she is available.
