Testimonials
My name is Sonia Croydon and my daughter who is 13, has been a student of Sarah's for two years.
In that time, Sarah has shown a lot of patience with my daughter as she at times finds it hard to focus. Hayley has shown much improvement in her playing since Sarah has been her violin teacher.
Hayley also has much respect for Sarah, and enjoys going to her lesson each and every week. I find Sarah to be caring, a good listener and shows an genuine interest in Hayley's well-being.
I have no hesitation in recommending Sarah.

Sarah taught me violin in private lessons and in group ensemble. Sarah is kind, passionate and engaging in her lessons and makes sure you relax and enjoy the process of learning music.
She's responsive to students (and their parents) various needs and different personalities and takes the time to figure out how best to connect with and motivate students. I've seen her students of all ages confidently performing pieces from AMEB the Suzuki method in classical repertoire and Irish folk music. Sarah is friendly and reliable.
