About Us

Laurie is an Aberdeen girl. After HS, she went right into Northern State University where she double-majored in vocal and instrumental music with piano being her main instrument. She has taught piano ever since, but for many of the ensuing years, also taught public school choir. She will focus on piano instruction now. She loves working with all ages, but prides herself on special success with elementary and intermediate levels.
