Laurel's passion for music began at a young age, leading her to start piano lessons in her hometown of Blenheim at the age of four.

​

At thirteen, Laurel continued her musical journey under the direction of Devon Hansen at the Chatham Music Academy, which significantly deepened her love for the instrument. She is currently pursuing her Royal Conservatory of Music Grade 9 certification.

​

With a natural affinity for working with children, Laurel brings her experience as a fitness class coach for kids, where she loves inspiring the younger generation to become the best versions of themselves while learning and having fun.

​

For Laurel, the piano is more than just an instrument; it is a powerful creative outlet that aids in personal development, confidence, self-expression, and instills discipline, patience, and perseverance in students.

​

Laurel is thrilled to join the Academy and looks forward to inspiring her students, fostering the same passion for music that her teachers instilled in her.
