Her expertise shines through in her teaching, with lessons and exercises that helped me establish good habits early on and set me up for success in the future.

Sarah is very approachable too and was always there for me if I had questions outside of lesson time. And in terms of scheduling, she is flexible and did her best to accommodate my needs.

Sarah has the ability to make learning piano fun and at your own pace while still challenging you.  I’ve started and quit numerous times before having her as a teacher and I’m proud to say that I’m still going, improving and learning piano because of her help. Its been a game changer!

Sarah is a wonderful instructor! She consistently accommodates my needs in learning and progresses at a good pace so that the practice sticks. She matches where I'm at, whatever that looks like during our lessons (including virtual lessons since I am not in the same city!).

I definitely recommend her as a teacher for a wide range of skill levels; and I appreciate the warmth and passion that she brings to our lessons to keep me on track!
