Lauren Eekhoff

Lauren, Student Teacher of Ukulele and Piano

Ukulele and Piano (Student Teacher)

Lauren is one of our stellar student teachers (ukulele and piano), and a student of SD’s (our director) and Angelia’s (another one of our student teachers and the daughter of SD and Jenna). Lauren is sixteen, and under the direction of Jenna and SD. In addition to being a highly capable and committed piano and ukulele student and musician, Lauren is also a highly trained dancer and exceptional homeschool student learning through a classical model of education. When she isn’t doing her homework, dancing, or practicing, Lauren also loves to sing, compose her own music, and sketch.

Lauren is bright, fun, and highly capable as a musician and she is excited to share her love and passion for music with others! And of course, most importantly, Lauren is a total fit with TIA, our mission, and our values.

Ukulele

Lauren loves learning and writing her own music on ukulele and just thinks it is a fun instrument all around! Lauren loves working with children and just thinks that music is so fun and a great learning experience for children. At TIA, we don’t just teach students to strum chords on the ukulele, although of course, we do that! But our students learn the whole of their instrument, to read music, their scales (major, minor, harmonic, and melodic, and the modes), and Lauren is exceptionally knowledgeable, proficient, and able to teach your children all of those! Stay Tuned parents as Lauren will be offering a group ukulele class (Ukulele Lab) for kids this summer!

Piano

Lauren is a highly capable piano student that has recently found a real joy and love for jazz and blues influenced piano, though of course she enjoys and is able to teach all styles. Students love our student teachers, and Lauren would be a great fit for your child if you are looking for a fun, capable, and down to earth teacher they will love but will also teach them well and that’s serious about the music and the learning!

Lauren, like most of our faculty, is booked solid and not accepting students at this time.
