About Laura

I studied classical piano under the tutelage of world renowned pianist, musicologist and lecturer, Beryl Chempin at her home in Moseley, Birmingham (in conjunction with the Royal Birmingham Junior Conservatoire). During my studies, I achieved high distinctions in Grades 1-8 ABRSM piano, including the highest mark in the UK for my grade 8 piano examination, and proceeded to study music further at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and Abbey College after being awarded scholarships. I began performing as a solo pianist in my teen years under Beryl’s direction and played numerous recitals and competitions including famous works by Beethoven, Brahms, Rachmaninoff, Chopin and many more. Alongside the piano, I studied classical singing with Andrea Calladine and Alison Chamberlain and achieved grades 1-8 ABRSM. My singing performing career began at the young age of three where I sang with Bournville Children’s Choir, as well as the CBSO Children’s and Senior Youth Choruses, and the National Youth Training Choir of Great Britain. I regularly participated in music festivals, including the International Eisteddfod, in Llangollen (Wales). Much valuable experience was gained from this early exposure, including many tours around Europe and the privilege of working with some of the world’s best artists. I achieved a BA(hons) Music Education degree with piano as my first instrument for my final dissertation performance, and was awarded the Worfield Charity Concert Prize for the highest degree classification in the whole music cohort.
I have continued putting my knowledge, skills and experience to good use over the past two decades through private tutoring, music curriculum teaching and accompanying musical events for schools and private individuals in my home county, Worcestershire. I have a specialism and passion for working with children and young people with special educational needs (SEN) and have developed a bank of effective teaching and learning strategies to support an inclusive practice. I teach from age 4 upwards and have a 100% pass rate for those who have taken graded examinations, with the majority achieving high distinctions.

About the lesson

Individual are offered in person or online to fit in with your commitments. Lessons can be taken at my studio near Worcester (WR6) or online. If you are interested in graded examinations, I follow the ABRSM syllabus. However, I am happy to support requests for alternative exam boards (e.g. Trinity, LCM, RSL). I have a 100% pass rate for current and past pupils - with most achieving high distinctions.
I cover all aspects of proper piano pedagogy, ensuring a sound technical foundation, strong musicality and expressive playing, and a deep theoretical understanding of music.

Laura has and continues to inspire my progress. I have struggled with theory, but Laura makes me feel at ease and challenges me in modes that are both fun and engaging. My confidence has improved under Laura's mentorship; I can fully recommend her instruction.
