Sharing her passion for music, Lauren spends most of her time teaching the flute. She works at several schools in London, notably at Coloma Convent Girls’ School, a specialist music school in Croydon, and at St Saviours and St Olaves School in Southwark.
Lauren has been teaching for 9 years, originally starting in her last year at school in Zimbabwe. Due to the high demand for primary children to learn music in London Lauren branched out into teaching small group and whole class recorder, clarinet and flute!
In 2005 Lauren joined Tower Hamlets Arts and Music Education Service (THAMES) and occupied a versatile role of teaching the recorder and flute to children from the ages of 7 up to 16 in East London. She was also a Workshop tutor and leader for the Isle of Dogs & Stepney Green Bands- working primarily on improvising and creative music making without being restricted by reading music or by musical ability.
Her workshop training began at Trinity College of Music (when she was a student) working with Jason Rowland and the Isle of Dogs band. This involved leading up to 30 children on key Stage 2 level, on any instrument at any level, culminating in exciting performances of music the children had in theory created themselves.
After working for THAMES for 3 years Lauren was offered a post at Coloma in September 2008 and now teaches there 4 days a week. Coloma offers an entirely different setting to what Lauren was used to at THAMES- she sees students privately (one on one) and has the opportunity to work very closely with the students and foster their unique musical passions. She also forms and coaches flute groups and prepares the girls for graded exams (ABRSM & TrinityGuildhall) and concerts.
Lauren also enjoys teaching privately at home in Honor Oak Park, South East London as well as travelling between Greenwich and Bethnal Green.
