Sarah enjoys teaching eager and committed students of all levels.
In addition to flute fundamentals, lessons typically cover how to practice efficiently, how to create a proper embouchure to produce a beautiful tone, proper technique with correct finger and hand positions and how to breathe naturally with solid support, as well as the history and compositional theory behind a given repertoire.

She welcomes students’ own ideas and suggestions, loves to be inspired by her students and continues to learn from them, too!
