I like to recommend specific materials based on the students abilities! In our first lesson we will talk about what kind of music the student likes to play and come up with a plan based on the student's level and goals! I personalize what you will learn based on what you want to accomplish. No two students are alike!

Sarah is not only a talented musician but also an amazing teacher. She works with you at the level you are at, encouraging you to push through challenges and supporting you every step of the way. She doesn’t use a “one size fits all curriculum” but rather adjusts her lessons and her techniques to meet your goals and learning style. I can honestly say that I come away from my lessons feeling excited about my progress. It’s a rare teacher that can do that.
