Lauren Haley: Neilly Series Lecture

Lauren Alexandra Haley is a violinist, pedagogy expert, and the author of Kids Aren’t Lazy: Developing Motivation & Talent Through Music. 

In redefining motivation as the learned rush of joy from conquering challenges, and talent as the sum of current skills that makes learning new ones easier, Haley reframes the way parents and educators understand the power of music education. With an emphasis on communication, Kids Aren’t Lazy empowers families and teachers with breakthrough strategies for fostering musical proficiency and cultivating healthy behavioral patterns in all areas of study. 

A violin performance graduate of the Eastman School of Music, Haley is the founder of Lauren Haley Studios, which enrolls 50 young musicians and their families in Houston, TX.
