Testimonials
“When I started working with Lauren, I was terrified to share my voice. I believed if I sang in a vulnerable and authentic way in front of people, they would not like me or want to be my friend! I had a strong desire to grow and share more as a singer and musician, but the fear was holding me back. I needed support working through emotional barriers to sharing my voice. After working with Lauren, I am singing in open mics, writing music, and growing creatively beyond my wildest dreams! This process has literally changed my life.”
“I really cannot recommend Lauren Arrow enough. Learning an instrument had eluded me since I was 10, and singing on my own always felt uncomfortable. I’ve always admired those who could effortlessly play and sing around a campfire but until now, I could only awkwardly join in.
With Lauren’s guidance, I chose the baritone ukulele, and her capsule of lessons completely transformed my experience. My four-year-old watched me go through the entire process - from knowing nothing to being able to play and sing along to 20 different songs we all love. Now she wants to start a band! I couldn’t be more thrilled that I invested in myself this way.
It’s rarely convenient to add “one more thing” to our lives.
I had just launched a business, had a small child and money perpetually seems to fly out the door faster than we want it to. But this was worth every moment and every dollar. Lauren’s teaching is intuitive, patient and deeply empowering. She created a space where I felt encouraged to explore and grow, unlocking both my voice and my ability to play.”

“I don’t write ovamonials for just anyone, only Lauren. Lauren reeled me in with something like, “singing for the terrified” and she delivered the goods. Our zoom calls were such a joy. I looked forward to them weekly and my confidence grew with every meeting. Lauren was constructive and comforting at the same time, always made me feel at ease, and spent an inordinate amount of time laughing (at me? with me?), which made everything more fun. I only have two regrets: 1) our geography made live sessions too challenging and 2) my lessons are over. Don’t hire Lauren if you want to wallow in self-pity about your poor singing ability, because she will crush that.”

“Hi Lauren, super pleasure having you at our home on Friday, thank you for such brilliant facilitation and such tremendous embodiment of power, authenticity and freedom. You are incredible. I am still moved and inspired. I still feel the synced hearts, the stillness, the connection here too.”

“I just wanted to say a huge huge thank you for this retreat weekend. I feel like I've remembered all of the joys of music with out any of the traumas that come along with old school classical training. I also really admire you as a teacher.
I've never met a musician/music teacher who is so gentle and loving of whatever comes out of the voice box as you. It's a new type of liberation I didn't know I needed, but now that I have it, it feels like FREEDOM. Thank you thank you thank you.”
