Hello! My name is Sarah, nice to meet you! I graduated from Belmont University with a Bachelor of Music Performance in 1999 and took on my first student soon after I graduated. I ran a successful piano studio for 6 years in South Dakota until I moved out of state…and continued to move all around the world as a military spouse. I have recently moved back to Kansas City where I spent most of my childhood and am currently building a studio once again! I am able to travel to your home to teach lessons, provided you have a piano or digital keyboard with weighted keys. The price per lesson is for a 30 minute lesson. I will purchase your lessons books and bring them to the first lesson and you can reimburse me for the price. Any other questions…I am happy to answer!

"Sarah taught my 3 children in her home while we were all stationed in Alabama for two years. My kids range in ages 7-14 as well as different levels. They all enjoyed their lessons with her very much and we were all sad to go!
