With many years of experience, Sarah doesn't just teach piano—she nurtures confident and joyful musicians. Her ultimate goal is to inspire a lifelong passion for music in every student. She achieves this by equipping them with essential tools: not just how to read music, but how to practice effectively and learn music independently.
Sarah has a special gift for working with young beginners, transforming lessons into a fun, engaging adventure that keeps them focused and excited to learn. She believes lessons should be as unique as the student, which is why she tailors each session to individual goals and interests. A typical lesson is a dynamic mix of mastering pieces, building solid technique, developing great practice habits, and playing creative music games.
During the summer term, students enjoy a creative shift, where they take a break from traditional books to explore any music they love—from pop hits to video game themes—all while continuing to play games and strengthen their skills.
When she's not at the piano, Sarah enjoys cross-stitching, playing video games with her cat Phoenix by her side, taking her dog Cherry on walks, and spending quality time with her husband and daughter.
