I believe that in the music studio, both mentor and mentee have an equal role. I truly value what every individual can bring into the classroom and I love learning from my students and finding new ways of teaching and relating. I strive to create a flexible environment with inclusivity at its core, in which there is a space for everyone, irrelevant of social, racial, economic and personal background.
Throughout the past 10 years I have taught and tutored in a variety of settings, including private lessons, in small classrooms and within Berklee College of Music as a tutor, and it has always been very clear to me that teaching and connecting through music is my calling.
“Sarah is an amazing teacher! She is very knowledgeable and makes the more difficult material easy to grasp. She is a great professional with experience and one can tell that teaching music is her passion! I would recommend her to anyone who wants to take Music theory lessons. Her love for music is infectious!”
