“As a result of being a student of Laura Vincent, I have grown and changed in so many ways. Studying with her has been an amazing experience. She taught me to love music and to make music my own, to put my personality into what I play and to use music to express myself. I am a more confident player as a result of her teaching. She puts so much energy into my lessons. I never feel alone on anything- recitals or auditions. Mrs. Vincent pushes me to take risks and be more independent yet she still supports me all the time.”
