Lawrence Maddela grew up in Bakersfield, CA taking private 1-on-1 piano lessons until high school. He discovered his musical talents early on in life, serving as the pianist of his Church for 4 years and developing a skillset in audio engineering hip-hop/rap music. Lawrence also excelled academically in the life sciences, as he proceeded to major in Psychobiology at UCLA and completed his master’s degree in Regulatory Affairs at Keck Graduate Institute in Claremont. When Lawrence is not working full-time in the medical device industry, he is focusing on his passion for teaching and playing piano.

To further strengthen his piano pedagogy, Lawrence was mentored under a concert pianist from the Juilliard School while obtaining his teaching certification from the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM). The classically trained pianist works closely with his own students, but also teaches at the Irvine School of Music and Tustin Music Center. Since the COVID-19 global pandemic, he has built a gamut of nearly 20 students and is committed to providing the best learning experience for all aspiring musicians.
