Music has always had that uncanny ability to transform the lives of anyone who embraced it. As a vocalist and songwriter, the stage for Singer-Songwriter Lara Eidi was always a place where one could truly connect with the audience, in the most authentic and wonderfully enjoyable way. That same passion for connection led Lara to take on an equally active teaching role for various institutions ( City Academy, Leeds Conservatoire, Community Choirs, ) and more fervently, her own private students and creative Workshops. Her creative and holistic approach is coupled with a strong focus on technique, daily practice and mindful practice .

As a shy person who used to be full of passion for music, I approached Lara as a physiotherapist who had stories to share. I couldn't think of a more fitting program !Lara combines great depth of knowledge of music with a talent to convey that knowledge, to students of any level. She doesn't have a one-size-fits-all approach but she takes time to understand what you need. When we started, she wanted to find out about my personal relationship with music and not only what my level of knowledge was. That way, she was able to tailor fit our lessons so that I got the absolute maximum from them. She is a confident teacher who knows when to be flexible, if she feels that a specific subject has drawn my attention, and when to guide me to focus on something. Her sessions are always full of energy, fun and inspiring! I cannot recommend Lara enough!" I came to Lara's singing programme feeling discouraged and rusty after being out of practise and unwell. The programme and vocal exercises quickly got me back into my body and voice. Eventually , I was able to get back to singing again. Lara's energy is infectious, encouraging of everyone no mater their experience of skill level. An amazing artist and teacher, I would recommend grabbing any opportunity to learn from and sing with her " Tamsin Mendeslohn- Music Coach
"Lara is the most wonderful singing and songwriting teacher and I thoroughly look forward to our lessons each week. She has a real talent for demystifying musical theory which is great for someone like me who lacks background in that area.Lara brings empathy and emotion to every class, which has made me feel connected to the songs I’m learning. This brings me so much joy , not only in class but when I am practicing alone. Lara is patient and intuitive and this even translates over zoom. I had reservations abouts online classes but there are actually so many benefits – such as being able to record the classes to refer back and for seeing my voice improve week on week. The lessons are very personalised. In our first class we discussed my objectives. Not only has Lara helped me achieve my goals, she has identified and set new ones and pushed me in challenging and rewarding ways. I can’t understate how much I gain from my lessons with Lara. It’s been fantastic for my mental and physical health and my confidence in my voice has grown so much."
"If you are looking for someone who truly cares about your progress you found the right person! From polishing your technique through confidence building to achieving things that you never thought were possible - that’s the simplest way to describe my journey with Lara! She is truly remarkable!"
""From my own experience I would thoroughly recommend Lara Eidi and Phonica Music Coaching. Lara is dedicated, talented and kind. She is able to work with, and develop the skills of people from all levels of musical ability, from absolute beginners to fellow professionals. She makes the journey fun, she inspires confidence. She helped me achieve much more than I ever thought was possible, to the point where she single handedly mentored me in songwriting, and produced my very first album!" "Lara is the most terrific singer songwriter I have ever met in my life.Since we met for the first time in London I was amazed by her own music style and her musical knowledge.I was fascinated by her love towards different kind of music and talk with her about all kind of music was always so inspiring.As a musician I had a background both in classical and jazz music but meeting her was very important for my musical journey. I was looking for someone that could help me to combine all the style I loved and let express myself in the best way possible. So I kindly asked Lara to be my mentor for this Journey in songwriting for her program "The Notes Between " and since we started to work together we are having amazing results! She is the best! I’m really happy for her help and I’m looking forward to share my new upcoming album with you all."
"I chose to work with Lara to develop the songs I am writing for my EP. Lara's breadth of knowledge and experience in different musical styles, meant she was ideally placed to understand and appreciate the style I wanted for my songs, but also stretch them to new and exciting places. Sharing songs at the early stages of development can be a daunting experience, but Lara creates a positive and encouraging space to explore ideas, offering great advice for all key aspects of writing, as well as recording. A really enjoyable and helpful experience!"
