Welcome - I’m Laura Lentz.
Flutist, teacher-mentor, collaborator, composer, & author.
I’m glad you’re here!
What drives me in my performance, teaching, & creative work is both curiosity and connection!
As a flutist, I love discovering or helping bring to life new incredible music for flute. Read about my recordings here.
As a collaborator, one of my greatest joys is working with others on a variety of creative projects. Read about my collaborating work here.
As a teacher-mentor, my work centers on empowering others to develop trust in their own instincts and creative voice, whether in lessons, workshops, at my blog The Insightful Creative, or the courses I teach in music business/arts leadership. Read about my teaching work here.
Please be in touch if you’d like to talk about
working together in some way!
