Sarah always makes efficient use of the time she has in each lesson, and ensures that the goals for the practice days until the next lesson are very clear. Very knowledgeable, and very easy to get along with.
Sarah is an amazing instructor, to say the least and goes well above and beyond what is expected of her. I have seen students of hers become so much more passionate about music than they originally were and change career paths from other careers to that of music. She sparks interest and love for music and also has a vast variety of musical talent under her belt. She is the whole package!
Sarah is an incredible teacher. She helped me so much when I was in high school trying to become a more advanced violinist. She helped me achieve my goals, and I am now a music educator myself. She is such a kind and friendly person, and she does well with so many age groups! I highly recommend her for lessons.
All three years of middle school Sarah taught me viola and cello. Without Sarah’s help I wouldn’t have been able to compete in orchestra competitions in high school. She is compassionate about her work, her students, and the music. I highly recommend her!
Sarah has a vast knowledge of string instruments. I was hesitant about learning viola, but she was nothing but encouraging and positive. Lessons have been productive and an efficient use of my time. I couldn't believe how much I’d progressed after just a few weeks! I really appreciate that she allows the lesson to build upon my prior knowledge and doesn’t waste my time with drilling certain exercises unless they are warranted. Listens to my concerns and gives me confidence and ownership of my abilities. When I wanted to play a simple duet with her she encouraged me and made it happen! She is also flexible if I need to change a lesson time, allowing for the occasional rescheduling. Wonderful educator. Highly recommended.
As an educator, observing Sarah working with children was inspiring. She's knowledgable, engaging, and patient. I've seen her with both shy and outgoing students and can attest that she is great at playing to the strengths of each child. Her love of music and ability to make concepts relatable is beyond impressive. I can't recommend her enough!
Sarah has a very great way of bringing music to the student in such a way that it is attainable. Her methods are tailored to individual students and she is incredibly supportive, giving above and beyond your average teacher. Sarah is efficient and clear, and an absolute joy to work with.
Sarah has two passions - music and building relationships with people. She brings those two things together in teaching music lessons. You can't go wrong with her!
Sarah was my late elementary school viola teacher. She was the one who first sparked a love for my instrument, and I probably would not still be playing without having learned from her. She is great with teaching both technique and musicality, and people with all different styles of learning and personalities. She will work with you wherever you're at, and I would highly recommend her.
