Laura Carter

Laura studied the recorder at the Birmingham Conservatoire under the excellent tuition of Ross Winter, Annabel Knight and William Lyons (Dufay Collective). Having won the Birmingham Recorder Competition in 2007 and completing her dissertation on early years music in schools, Laura decided to develop her skills as a music education specialist, gaining an early years music residency within Birmingham primary schools through sound futures.

Alongside her early years work, Laura also works as peripatetic music teacher for Birmingham and Solihull music services and a professional musician within her folk band The Old Dance School.

Laura aims to provide exciting, accessible, fun music making workshops to inspire children and give them the confidence to be creative.
