About Lauri
I love to help students at all levels and ages to develop their own relationship with the piano, and have fun in the process. After all, we all learn best when we are smiling!
I have taught hundreds of students for over 30 years and have a double degree in music from the Universith of Washington.
I have a comprehensive and multifaceted approach that includes playing pieces they love, theory, technique, music history, improvisation and compositiion. I design lessons to fit each students learning styles and goals.
Mine is not a cookie-cutter approach. Each student is unique, so each student's lessons are unique.
I enjoy all aspects of my work: teaching students of varying ages and abilities, continuing to study and grow as a teacher, and most of all, seeing the delight in my students eyes when they are excited about the piece they are learning, have a breakthrough in understanding or feel pride in their accomplishment.
I have two degrees in music from the University of Washington. I majored in piano performance and music history with special emphasis on pedagogy and advanced theory. I endeavor to continue growing as a teacher and musician through workshops, classes and independent study. For example, I began studying vocal jazz ten years ago and have performed in a non-professional capacity in several venues, including Tula's in Seattle. Taking lessons and performing on a second instrument has not only improved my overall musicianship, it has also reminded me of the challenges of being a beginner. My grandparents were professional musicians and their joy with music and teaching influenced me to want to follow in their footsteps. I hope to pass their love of music on to my students.

I always begin with a free trial lesson so you can see if I am the right teacher for you or your child. I have prepared for that lesson in advance so that you get the most out of it and I can evaluate the your level, which includes any gaps you might have in your previous training.
I encourage you or your child to let me know what music you would like to play. I offer choices so that you are playing music you enjoy!
I design an approach that will best help you grow at your optimal pace. That approach is always in process, as your learning evolves. I welcome your input!
I want every student to run to the piano because they are excited about what they are learning.

I cannot say enough good things about Lauri- I've never had a better piano teacher! As a child, I took piano lessons sporadically, but never consistent enough to play well. I'm now 24 and have been taking online lessons with Lauri for over a year, with incredible success! She pays attention to the things that are important to me and tailors each lesson to what I need to work on most. She teaches me how to practice each concept effectively so that I learn better. She's incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of music and great at answering questions. She's patient and she makes lessons fun! She has made it so I even prefer online lessons because of how easy they are with her. I'd recommend Lauri 1000x over!
Ms. Lauri came highly recommended to me through a mom group that I am in. My son (he is 9 and in the highly capable program, but as high cap kids can be, is very particular about how he processes and learns things) was showing interest in learning to play the piano. I wanted to make sure whoever taught him would be able to understand and be patient with him. Ms. Lauri and I had extensive conversations about Jax, his learning style, challenges he might show etc. prior to committing to lessons. We decided it was a good fit and my gosh, best decision ever! Jax LOVES playing the piano and really enjoys learning from Ms. Lauri. Hearing him play has brought so much joy to our home and we are looking forward to his first virtual recital and to see how he’ll continue to learn and grow. Thank you for being the best teacher for Jax!
My two boys started taking lessons with Lauri when they were in elementary school. Eight years have since passed, and the boys have built an impressive repertoire spanning classical, jazz and pop genres. They continue to work on their craft under Lauri’s tutelage even in high school. Playing the piano offers a welcome respite from the blue screen and the stress of some aspects of school. The boys will have a lifetime of enjoyment from playing a musical instrument, much thanks to Lauri!
Lauri is the BEST! I am a 52-year-old female and Lauri is patient, keeps things fun, interesting and educational, I am so grateful to have found her. I highly recommend her for anyone interested in learning piano.
My children and I have all been taking lessons from Lauri Mitchell for several years now. Laurie excels at teaching learners of all ages. She even taught my mother. Our youngest started when they were 8. Laurie has always been endlessly patient with all of us. It's especially appreciated by those of us older students who tend to learn a little slower. She ensures that you have something fun to play while you also learn your scales and theory - it's a great balance. Her laughter and quick wit make every lesson fun, even when you haven't done your practice. We strongly encourage anyone wanting to learn the piano to give her a call!
