Our Story
Pedro & Sarah Lantigua with their two lil' crumbsnatchers.
There are a lot of things we could say about how Lanti Music came to be, but if you ask owners Pedro and Sarah when Lanti started, Sarah would share this…
"Lanti started when I was 7 years old and “played school” with my siblings, when I was 10 and created special classes for the kids during winter potlucks and when the church pianist let me sit at the piano bench and turn pages during choir rehearsals. It started when I sang my first solo, played flute in the band and then took piano lessons in middle school. It began during endlessly long hours of rehearsals and when I practiced until my eyes were so heavy I’d fall asleep on the piano keys. Lanti started when I had my first audition and when I performed in a stadium of 6,000 people. It started when incredible performance opportunities took me around North America and Europe. It began when I taught my way through college, completed my education degrees and stepped into my first classroom. It began with Pedro sharing a vision of extraordinary possibilities of reaching more students by creating a team of like-minded teachers. Lanti started with years of learning, failing, succeeding, practicing, trying, performing, creating and achieving. This is the thing - being passionate about the performing arts and teaching, passing on experiences, sharing years of knowledge – well, that doesn’t have a start date. It’s a synthesis of your whole life. It's who you are."
So you see, we could make a list of noteworthy things like Sarah’s degrees in Music Ed with a Masters in Special Education or Pedro’s degree in Social Work with a minor in Youth Ministry. We could add that they’ve been teaching and working with students for over 25 years and that they owned a studio just outside of New York City before relocating to North Carolina. But Lanti is much more than a list of stuffy facts. It is more than a business. It’s a culmination of a life of passion and experience. It’s a dream realized. It’s an ongoing adventure and we’d love for you to be part of it with us!

P.S. Sarah would also like to give a big shoutout to her dad and mom for the crazy amount of time and resources that went into all of these activities so she could pursue her passions! Hands in the air for the parentals! <insert a huge smiley face>
P.P.S. They have two doggies and two very active little boys. It's a family business - so don't be surprised if you see them sweeping the studio floors while simultaneously dumping legos out in the lobby!
