Learn from Great Pop Arranging Teachers

Hello! I have had a deep connection with music in all its forms from a very young age. Through Middle School, High School, and four years of College, I performed with Concert Bands, Jazz Bands, and Marching Bands as a Trumpet player, where I also began writing my own compositions for solo trumpet.

Remember that video you saw on the Today Show, ABC World News Tonight, Ellentube, and Classic.FM of the toddler hugging the violinist playing Can't Help Falling in Love? Yep, that was me! 😄 🎻 I'm Laura, a professional working violinist in New York City, and I can't wait to be your teacher!

I am a pianist, arranger and music teacher with over 25 years of experience teaching piano, guitar and music theory. My journey in music education began at the age of 21, at the Marist Center, an NGO where I had the privilege of teaching music to children between the ages of 7 and 14.

I specialize in authentic Japanese music—from anime and video game soundtracks to traditional styles and modern film scores such as the Studio Ghibli sound. I can also teach you how to create J-pop songs across different eras (80s, 90s, 00s, 10s, and 20s), how to write lyrics in Japanese, and how to deeply understand Japanese modern culture, including anime and manga.
