Lessons Offered For Students Of All Ages & Skill Levels!
Sarah is a classically trained pianist, teacher, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist with a Bachelor’s degree in Music Education. With over two decades of experience performing and teaching, Sarah brings both technical expertise and heartfelt encouragement to every lesson.
Her musical journey has taken her from opening for Colbie Caillat in Georgia to singing meditation mantras by the volcanic rocks of Costa Rica. Here in the Texas Hill Country, she is a familiar face at Italian Fine Motor Vehicle events, delighting audiences with opera arias in Italian, French, German, and Spanish.
Sarah’s teaching style is rooted in kindness, patience, and genuine care for each student. She believes music should be a joyful and empowering experience, whether your child is just starting out or preparing for more advanced studies. Lessons are tailored to meet each student’s unique needs and learning style, fostering confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of music.
Instruments offered include piano, voice, flute, guitar, ukulele, and trombone.

Guidelines & Philosophy
Daily Practice
Students with a daily/weekly practice routine generate a greater sense of accomplishment in their music lessons. For the greatest success please help your child find a specific time every day for practice. For instance, a common practice time might be 20-30 minutes when your child comes home from school, or every night before dinner, so that it becomes a daily expected routine like brushing teeth. You can even break it up into two practice sessions, 10-15 minutes in the morning before breakfast, and 10-15 minutes before bed. Whatever suits you and your family’s schedule, but do find a time that is scheduled and routine. For younger students, the practice time can be shortened.
The most important element of music education is to discover and nurture a love and passion for learning. I aim to provide a positive atmosphere that facilitates creative musical expression, playful exploration, and cognitive structured learning through voice and musical instruments.
During our lesson time together we'll cover topics including (but not limited to) improvisation (making up songs), the ABCs of music, note reading, and ear training.
