“Laura is a wonderful example of what one person can achieve. She, inspired by our mutual first teacher in Ayrshire, Brenda Smith, has built from scratch a thriving violin and music community in Lincolnshire with workshops, performances, individual and ensemble lessons. It is my pleasure and honour to work with such a brilliant, dedicated and relentless advocate for music and for teaching.” - Nicola Benedetti CBE, international concert violinist
“Laura teaches with care and passion; she is able to instil a love of music making by skillfully mixing teaching of excellent technical playing ability with creating opportunities for her students with other young musicians. Laura has taught my daughter since the age of 4, and at 16, she now plays with the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain.”- Runa, Parent
