Terry Laubscher arrived in the USA on Labor Day 2000. She taught music at Guilford County Schools for two years in Greensboro, North Carolina, and piano at the Music Academy of North Carolina.

She has taught school music and piano in Texas since August 2002.

Her mission in life is to spread the language of music to as many children so that their lives can be enriched with a "new game" of symbols and sounds.

She enjoys nurturing students to succeed and master the skill of piano performance.

In 1996 she was appointed as First Education Specialist in Arts and Culture with the Western Cape Education Department, Cape Town, South Africa. She held the administrative position until she and her husband decided to emigrate to USA.
