Mrs. Lauren Cooper

Lauren has performed in many master classes and has received instruction from amazing performers around the world including Dr. Linda Wang, Harumi Rhodes, Daniel Sweaney, and others.

While she has achieved a high level of performance and has had opportunities to perform with symphonies and ensembles in Northern Colorado, her heart lies in teaching.

While pursuing her education, she also maintained a violin studio of up to 14 students. Lauren is passionate about sharing her love of music with the next generation and hopes that through her positive, yet skillful, approach to teaching, her students will gain not only knowledge about music and violin playing, but a love for music that they will carry with them for a life time.
