Our Story
Lanti Music (Not to be confused with Latin Music – although who doesn’t love a great salsa or bachata?!) is a work in progress.
If we had to list things out, the obvious start would be how Lanti Music began in a suburb just outside of NYC. We would talk about how studio owner, Sarah, first started teaching by traveling to students’ homes, local churches, her college practice rooms, until eventually creating a home studio. We’d include how the first few teachers came on board in 2008 and then in 2010 an opportunity presented itself so she and her husband sold the NY studio and moved to North Carolina. Shortly after arriving, Sarah simply missed teaching kids and decided to begin the studio adventure again - from teaching out of her house, to giving lessons in a nearby coffee shop, to finally opening the colorful doors at Lanti Music’s current location in Indian Trail.
But that’s the obvious stuff - stuff you can simply list. If you ask Sarah when Lanti Music started, she would share the intangibles and say this...
"Lanti Music started when I was 7 years old and convinced my siblings to “play school” on Saturday mornings. It began when I created special classes at church during winter potlucks and when the church pianist let me turn pages during choir rehearsals. It started when I sang my first solo, when I started playing the flute, and then began piano in 7th grade. Hours and hours of practice - practicing till my eyes were so heavy that I’d fall asleep right on the piano keys. It started when I began performing for others – whether it was for 3 competition judges or a stadium of 6,000 - performance opportunities that 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. Lanti Music started with years of learning, failing, succeeding, practicing, trying, performing, creating and achieving. You see, this is the thing - being passionate about music and teaching, passing on experiences, sharing years of knowledge – well, that doesn’t have a start date. It’s a culmination of your whole life. It's who you are."
And so it is with your child – the weekly music lessons, the ups and downs of practice, the first trophy sitting on top of the piano, Saturday’s that turn into jam sessions with friends – one day these moments will be remembered as the start of something amazing!
The story of Lanti Music is still being written and we would love to have you join the adventure!
