Sarah’s independent work ethic is very strong. She is self-motivated and accomplishes tasks early and does them extremely well. 

John Hilton III, Professor of Ancient Scripture, BYU

I have witnessed Sarah’s ability to manage classroom behavior like a seasoned professional, design hands-on engaging lessons, and inspire children to reach high standards in music education. Sarah is a highly motivated professional, an independent mover and shaker, and a team player who is clearly focused on providing quality instruction in music to children of all ages.
