"Sarah's not like a teacher...she's like a friend you just happen to learn stuff from". Rebecca Evans: 14
"Sarah is my saxaphone teacher and being taught by her is a 5* experience,she makes me feel relaxed and comfortable. She makes learning an instrument fun and i thank her for all she has done for me. I would definitely recommend Sarah as the best and only sax teacher you should ever go to." Leyla Mahoney.
"Singing is one thing I knew for sure I couldn't do. So, when I booked my first lesson, I warned Sarah to that effect. She was unperturbed.
My first lesson was barely a whisper. My voice broke at every other word. Still, she persevered. The next few lessons, she worked on my voice. Then, suddenly, with her unconventional but infallible training, I started producing dramatic improvements every week. My confidence improved and diffused into other areas of my life. With this new image, I know I'm heading for better prospects in life. Sarah has a unique way of bringing out the best in you. When you gain that sort of confidence, you can achieve anything you want.
In three months I have discovered a secret. There is something about singing that dissolves the barrier between thought and speech. It's simply confidence. It makes you break out of your shell. So, I did it....And why not? We have only one life!" Kalpana Soanes
"Since going to singing lessons with Sarah, Maddie's confidence in her abilities has really grown. One to one lessons tailored to her need has been just perfect and Sarah has given the opportunity for Maddie to experience new music styles as well as working with Maddie's own favourites. Making a CD for the family and her friends to hear made us all very proud and Maddie was confident enough to put it on You Tube - something she would never have contemplated before. Thank you Sarah for your continued dedication." Lorna Earl (Pupils parent)
"I Really like Sarah's style of teaching- she is clearly passionate about what she does and aims to develop individual potential through careful observation, a variety of interesting teachings skills and bubbly enthusiasm. My confidence is growing by the day!" Carleen Saull-Hunt
"When I came to you I had had a lifetime of people telling me that I couldn’t (and shouldn’t) sing. I don’t know how you have managed it but within the space of 3 months, you have given me the confidence to have a go at everything and I can feel the improvement, even during the lessons. This is a huge thank you – you have been inspirational and I am really looking forward to even greater progress." Dilys Bayes
"I began lessons for tenor sax with Sarah in January 2005. I could read music and had played flute at school ( many years ago!) but other than that was a complete beginner. With Sarah's clear guidance and encouragement I was amazed at how quickly I progressed. Sadly we had to part company in September 2005 when I moved to Warwickshire where I continued with lessons and have been in a band for over a year. I know that Sarah's passion and expertise gave me the best start I could possibly have had and I would not hesitate in recommending her.
Thanks again for all you did to get me started - you are a great musician who has the generosity and ability to pass on her knowledge, and that's a real gift." Marianne Skelton
"Sarah is a brilliant saxaphone teacher and player. She works very well with my 10 year old daughter who has special needs and is thriving under her tuition. She also teaches theory alongside the practical lessons. Sarah is a very friendly and outgoing person who is easy to get on with and very approachable." Leigh Smith (Pupil's Parent)
"A year ago I had no confidence in my singing abilities..thanks to Sarah's patient approach I am now about to go into a studio to record my first album!" Gail Richardson.
"As a mature student of the tenor sax, I have found Sarah patient, methodical and continually encouraging, which particularly sustained me through those first few months of occasional tedium and frequent cacophony. I'm now in my fourth year and still enjoying the learning curve." Colin Pogue
"Sarah's really nice and patient and teaches me the notes well and she doesn't get cross!!" Ellie Bonnett, 9.
"Sarah has a great way of teaching and it is always good fun. As a mature person I thought that singing was going to be confined to the bathroom but with Sarah's help and patient professional coaching, I will be able to join a choir again or accompany our music group with a voice that I didn't know I had. Thanks Sarah.' Ann Bonner
