      <title>Laura Scarborough</title>
      <body>Classically trained, Laura began her affair with the piano from the early age of 6. &lt;br&gt; A multiple winner of competitions during her early school years, Laura was recognised for her expressive style, and participated in a workshop in Vienna, studying with Krassimira Jordan at the Bosendorfer Academy.Laura received a scholarship from the University of Texas, and completed her BA in Music. It wasn't until she was 22, that she began developing her talents in improvisation, composing, and singing. &lt;br&gt;A unique blend of classical piano structure, and textural groove music. Laura's free-flowing, sulty vocal style, was influenced by the great female jazz singers.&lt;br&gt;When Laura is not entertaining audiences, she works with children, and has established her own studio - developing unique methods for teaching piano.</body>
