LAURA, HEAD TEACHER

Laura is the founder of The Music Academy, and has been teaching music since 2015. She completed her Bachelor of Music majoring as a vocalist, and has been playing flute since 1999 and guitar since 2007. She now works as a teacher and a professional musician, performing as a singer and guitarist (and sometimes with a bit of ukulele).
