Walnut Valley Teaching
Laura teaches many dedicated students throughout Walnut Valley. Laura teaches privately at Diamond Bar High School, and South Pointe Middle School. Laura's students, past and present, have successfully auditioned for the ensembles listed below, including the Performing Arts Academy. Laura has taught privately at DBHS since 2010, preparing students for honors ensembles, recitals, college music auditions, and rewarding musical lives.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Laura has taught private clarinet lessons online, as well as in-person where it is deemed safe (which is often outdoors, in 2021.) In the summer of 2021, Laura's summer studio performed in a Zoom Studio Recital. Students performed both live, and with piano accompaniment in recorded performances. Pictured above are students from the live recital performance, and stills of student recital recordings. Students made remarkable progress working toward this performance!
