Lori Frazer’s mother taught piano and organ, which was the foundation for her own passion for music.  When Lori was a small child, her mother purchased a piano for the home, which later would serve Lori for her own training.  Like many people in Northern California in the 1950s and 60s, Lori and her mother were influenced by Marion Richie, a well-known music teacher!  Lori was hooked on the passion of teaching and found herself following in the footsteps of her mother and those of Marion.  In the late 1970s, while hanging out at the local Yamaha Music store, Lori began teaching senior organ classes - she was 15 years old!  She later traveled around the country to music stores and special events to demo the latest products.  Since 1997, Lori has been officially involved with Yamaha, the company she has been connected with her entire career!
