Success Stories
Celia Quartermain
Celia has worked in the creative industries for more than five decades. Her journey has taken her from youth and community theatre, through documentary making for tv and cinema, to arts features for BBC Radio 3 and 4, culminating in a series of novels waiting for a publisher. There is a story at the centre of everything she does and this holds true in her latest venture into songwriting. I'm incredibly humbled to have been able to mentor, produce and release her very first album. It's a powerful collection of folk - anthems that ring loud with truth, empowerment and humanity. I'll never forget her first reaction when , having flown from London and walking with me towards AUX Studio in Exarchia Athens , glancing round she said " Am I really here? Is this really happening?
Celia writes :" In November 2022 I found I was losing my voice so I contacted Lara Eidi Lara, a wonderful award-winning and acclaimed artist, songwriter and educator had given me some singing lessons in London in the past and together we set about working on the problem. Lara had moved back to her native Athens so ours was a remote workspace, but that was no problem under her unique programme. Called The Notes Between, Lara runs tailor-made programs for singers, songwriters, artists and creatives. It is open to all, so I signed up for a series of one-to-one sessions. Now, after two years under her mentorship, as well as a glorious trip to AUX Studios in Athens to record the work, the project is now complete. The Whale and Other Journeys, an album of songs written and sung by me under Lara’s mentorship and with her arrangement, orchestration, and production will be released in early 2025. This is an experience like no other , which I highly recommend !The timing of this couldn’t be ignored, and Lara, an artist who has an intuitive way of working that can create meaning even in the darkest of times, encouraged me to use my voice, reminding me of music’s ability make sense of something so senseless.
Who’d have thought it? At my age too"

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."
Angela Tursi, Musician and mentor of The Notes Between

"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!"

"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."Click here to edit
