Our Teachers

Meet the Teachers of Music Together in the Smokies

Our teachers come from all sorts of backgrounds, but they’re united by a common passion: Sharing music with children and families!

All teachers have successfully completed the live Music Together® Teacher Training, which is built on research in early childhood and music development. We keep our skills fresh through workshops every semester and advanced trainings offered by Music Together Worldwide.

Laura is the registered teacher and director of Music Together in the Smokies!  She is thrilled to be running this program and bringing the joy of music to families. Laura is a classically trained pianist and vocalist with a Bachelors of Arts in Music from Otterbein College, but most recently you may have seen her riding horses and dancing at Dolly Parton's Stampede in Pigeon Forge.  She also teaches piano and voice lessons in a formal teaching setting to children of all ages.  Laura believes there is a musician in all of us, and is excited to be bringing more music classes to the Smoky Mountains.
