As an educator, Sarah is known for her student-centered and inclusive teaching philosophy.

Her supportive and adaptable teaching style has resonated with students who may have struggled in traditional settings or felt hesitant about lessons. Sarah creates an environment where students feel heard, inspired, and empowered—musically and personally.

  • “Sarah’s passion and warmth are infectious! She is committed to discovering how her students find inspiration and joy in music. She will preservers with even the most uninterested students, utilizing a variety of resources and teaching styles. Within 6 months, my daughter has gone from hating piano to practicing on her own several times a week. I am so glad we found Sarah!”

Research shows that rhythm, patterns, and repetition make daily routines more predictable and enjoyable for young children. Singing familiar songs with repetitive lyrics and actions not only captures their attention but also supports language development, vocabulary growth, motor skills, and memory—building a strong foundation for cognitive development.

Incorporating music into specific parts of the day, like singing before nap time or bath time, helps babies anticipate what’s coming next, offering them comfort and a sense of security.

In this three-part class, you’ll discover simple and meaningful ways to weave music into your daily routine. You'll also tap into your creative side as you learn to write a personalized lullaby for your baby—set to the tune of your favorite niggun!

Whether you're an expecting mom or already juggling a busy household of little ones, this workshop is designed just for you.

  • “Your work with each one of my kids has been such a blessing and I feel so grateful and glad for them. I think it is worth so much more than the music, even though the music itself is huge, in addition to that the confidence in their abilities is huge.”
