Lawley Lessons

There is no typical process for working with a new student.  Each student is individual in their learning style and demeanor, and part of my work is to clue in to what works best with each student.  This is what makes my job amazing, fun, and always interesting. 

I have a Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.  I also have a music teacher credential from my work with five years of experience as an elementary music teacher in the Dallas Independent School District.

I began teaching voice and piano lessons after finishing my music degree in Dallas, and after realizing my enjoyment of the craft as an educator, I jumped head first into urban education in Dallas as well. Upon moving to California, I developed my own small business teaching private voice and piano and began contracting with different organizations as a music educator. 

I have worked with students of all ages from young children to adults. I have also worked with students with special needs theough my teaching and have a degree in music therapy. 

A student of mine is also taking drum lessons.  He was able to play piano with his drum teacher playing on drumset as well while I sang the vocals at the Lawley Lessons Student Showcase. I love when collaboration can happen for the benefit of a student!

If a teacher does not seem a fit in the first lesson, do not commit! Always use your gut instinct and be true to what is best for you. 

Make sure you have an understanding of what you need and want. Think through how to express this to the teacher so they can help you in any way they can.
