MUSIC EDUCATION, DANCE & THEATRE

Music Educator
PRIVATE INSTRUCTOR: PIANO Performance (Classical & Pop/Contemporary), Theory, Composition & Songwriting!
Sarah has been teaching music since 2011.
She was selected to volunteer with Berklee's City Music Program ('15 - '17) as a piano instructor and mentor to two high school musicians, both of whom are pursuing further studies in music.
Sarah advocates for making music education accessible to people of all ages, abilities and circumstances. She believes the listening, playing, composing and appreciation skills that music education provides; the curiosity, creative spirit, resilience, courage and discipline it nurtures - greatly enhances all aspects of life.
Sarah currently offers bespoke individual lessons / consultations in the above mentioned fields, to students of all ages and levels. Lessons are offered in-person at the student's residence; or online (for overseas students).

Dance Accompanist
"Sarah belongs in that rare group of accompanists ... who are treasures in the ballet world ... who can absolutely bring the dancer and class to a higher level of focus and achievement on a daily basis."
Mary Thompson, Ballet Mistress,
Jose Mateo Ballet Theatre, Boston US
Sarah relishes in using her music to fully support and enhance the dancer's technique, expression and storytelling - in class and on stage. She embraces the challenge of improvising across numerous musical styles and tempos, to deliver interactive, emotionally-connected accompaniment that the dancer's soul is unconsciously, constantly seeking.
