Reviews for Lafayette Piano Lessons
In a word, "Amazing." We engaged Laura to introduce piano to our granddaughter. I was so impressed with her skill and ability that I signed up for lessons. My experience with Laura has been truly amazing. Like the "Oracle," her instruction is unique to each student providing them with what they need to push beyond barriers. My time with Laura is cherished and I look forward to my weekly lessons.

Laura has been teaching my 8-yr-old daughter and 10-yr-old son for the past three years, coming to our home for one-on-one lessons and then switching to remote instruction. The transition to remote learning has been very smooth. We appreciate that Laura has a systematic approach to teaching and builds good technique skills patiently and methodically. She is thorough and instructive, and tailors the lessons to fit the students’ needs. Both kids progress steadily and continue to gain confidence from her encouragement. Thank you, Laura, for making piano part of our life and for instilling a lifelong appreciation of music. We highly recommend Laura!

Laura Ponti exceeds expectations for dynamic teaching. Her experiences with master teachers of the past have shaped her into a phenomenal instructor of the piano. She truly loves the piano and brings out the best in all of us to produce beautiful music. My three kids (ages 16, 14, and 12) and I as her adult student have benefited greatly from her top rate coaching and inspiration. You will fall in love with piano under Laura Ponti's piano lessons.

Laura is an excellent piano teacher for both myself (44) and my two kids (7 and 10). She keeps things friendly and fresh with a wide range of music, and a method that emphasizes skill building over rote drills. I've seen a ton of improvement in both myself and my kids in less than a year.
