Laura G. Azuaje

A native of Venezuela, Laura began her musical studies at the age of 7 in the Conservatory “Vicente Emilio Sojo” in her hometown Barquisimeto, where she received training in music theory, music history, and performance (solo, symphony and chamber orchestra). Three years later, she started to play in chamber and professional symphony orchestras in Venezuela, including the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela. In 2009, Laura and her husband moved to Memphis, Tennessee to pursue graduate studies at the University of Memphis. In 2012, she obtained a Master’s degree in Cello Performance from the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music. She received her training in Suzuki in the Chicago Suzuki Institute, Greater Austin Suzuki Institute, and Dallas Suzuki Institute. Since 2012, Laura has been devoting most of her time to teaching. During her time in Memphis, she divided her teaching time between a small private studio and the Bellevue School of Performing Arts. In 2015, Laura moved to Katy, TX and started her private studio where she teaches children of all ages and levels. She thinks that teaching is an opportunity to inspire and educate students to love and communicate through music. She is fluent in English and Spanish.
