About Laura
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have worked in some of London's most challenging schools, delivering group violin lessons, alongside coaching students at my private teaching practice. I teach violin, piano, cello and voice in very high-achieving schools, and coach students through the ABRSM examinations, with excellent results. I have formed and conducted 3 successful youth string orchestras, and provided coaching for string quartets and chamber ensembles. Some of my most talented pupils have achieved places at the junior conservatoires of London.
As a performer, I have played with a number of high-profile artists such as Michael Buble and Il Divo, with the Dubai String Quartet, the National Symphony Orchestra of the UAE and the Orion Orchestra. I regularly play with many UK freelance orchestras.
