About me
Laura Montanari is a singer/songwriter and music educator from Umbria, Italy. Her research focuses on embodied ways of learning, body music, and the relationship between songs and history, namely how songs can function as primary sources, and reveal different cultural perspectives and non-hegemonic historical discourses. Her career as a singer-songwriter has guided her pedagogy and scholarship, relying on songwriting and arts- based methodologies to access different ways of knowing, an approach she shared with her NYC students during her 12 year-tenure as a K-8 general music teacher.
Dr. Montanari is a Postdoc Fellow in Music Education at Montclair State University. She is also an adjunct at Westminster Choir College (Rider University), Bank Street College of Education, and NJIT. In 2022 she self-published her first children’s book, “Let’s Make Our Sound”. Her original music is published under the pseudonym Larthia.
