Testimonials

" Sarah is a wonderful and talented teacher. My children (aged 13 and 10) look forward to their lessons each week. Sarah has inspired them to learn the piano and build on their skills with her positive and encouraging teaching style. She takes the time to get to know her students and tailors the lessons accordingly with a lovely balance of focus on technical work and playing for enjoyment. I am very impressed with the care and professionalism she brings to each lesson."  From Mel.            

" I began working with Sarah around 6 months ago having not played piano for over 25 years, but keen in retirement to start over. From day 1 I have found Sarah to be a first class teacher. Deeply passionate about her subject an with a wealth of experience. Sarah is encouraging and motivational making every lesson enjoyable, and coupled with her relaxed teaching style I feel I have made considerable progress under her tutelage. I feel very fortunate to have her as my teacher."  From Chris.             

" When I retired a few years ago, I decided to take up playing the piano for which I had lessons as a young boy. I soon realised that I needed some help to enjoy playing. I was lucky to find Sarah, of SJE Music, to set me on the right road, teach me the correct fundamentals and she even taught me how to play the blues!  Whether your choice of music is classical, jazz or whatever you enjoy then Sarah will be able to teach you in order that you can enjoy "tinkling the ivories" as much as I do. It doesn't matter how old you are, you are never too old to enjoy playing the piano but it adds to the enjoyment if you are taught to play with style! "  From Harry.       

" Sarah is patient, kind, always positive and very encouraging. Sarah matches her teaching methods to my individual needs. I feel I have progressed in a relatively short time and I feel that this is down to how Sarah teaches. At 70 I will never be a concert pianist, but more importantly, I always enjoy my lessons and look forward to them. I can highly recommend Sarah as a piano teacher!"  From Leslie.       

" Sarah has a great teaching style with mature pupils. Her positivity and enthusiasm have given me the confidence to move out of my comfort zone, and work on more advanced pieces. Her explanations are clear, and my knowledge of music theory has improved - and I enjoy it! She is also totally unflappable at exam time, and I would not have considered exams before!" From Kate.
