Sarah is an incredible teacher. I'm an adult beginner (I'm 46, and I had a few years of lessons when I was very little) and in just about 2 months of (zoom) lessons so far, I am already so excited to sit down to practice every day! Sarah makes sure that I understand WHY I'm doing each exercise, she is really tuned into what I want to do with piano (play pop songs I love and sing along to them!) and she's helping me develop my musicality along with my muscle memory for playing. She's also really responsive to where I'm at on any given evening -- life is stressful, and sometimes my lesson needs to be just about finding some joy at the piano. Plus she's really committed to her students-- she makes us YouTube videos for technique, etc. I'm so grateful to be working with her, and I recommend her HIGHLY!

Sarah was our kid's piano teacher from the little years to the high school years. Not only was she a musical inspiration, she also became an invaluable role model and friend to our child. We couldn't recommend Sarah enough!

Sarah was my daughter’s piano teacher starting in Kindergarten up to the week before she left for College. She has been an amazingly positive influence in her life, helping to foster a love of music and encourage the confidence to perform and explore. Sarah has the ability to engage with kids and teens with authenticity and humor. When we switched to online classes she brought just as much energy and inspiration to each lesson as in-person lessons. I am so thankful for all that Sarah has done for our family. She’s the best!

Sarah Collins is THE BEST music teacher ever!!! I've taken weekly piano lessons with Sarah for 2 years, and now both of my kids see her for piano lessons as well. Sarah is an amazing teacher and such an enjoyable person to learn from. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to learn piano.

Sarah is exceptional. Her teaching methods are innovative, weaving together each lesson with patience, love, kindness, and joyful laughter. With a remarkable ability to tune in to her students, she guides them on their musical journey, tailoring her approach to their unique interests and needs. Our child recently "graduated" from piano lessons, a journey that began at the age of 9 and continued until they were nearly 17. It was a bittersweet decision to say goodbye to Sarah, yet it feels like she became a part of our family. She served as a valuable adult role model in our child's life, instilling not just a passion for music but also equipping them with the skills necessary for a lifelong musical adventure. For us, Sarah's impact extends beyond the realm of music education, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts.

Sarah is a truly amazing teacher. My 6 year old has attended both her in person piano lessons and her online piano lessons. Somehow, Sarah is able to teach her online lessons just as expertly as her in person lessons. My daughter has absolutely loved all of her lessons. Sarah is such a natural teacher of children. It has been so impressive to see my child respond and learn to all of Sarah's wonderful teaching.

Sarah welcomed my 5 and 6yos into her studio despite their young age, and my kids immediately took to her style of teaching. She kept the lesson light and fun. Can’t wait until our next lesson!

Sarah has been teaching my son piano for several years now and I have nothing but good things to say about her. She engages with her students on a very real and accessible level and respects them for who they are and where they are. Often the music my son learns is student lead and based on his interest in a certain piece of music (or movie or video game). The fun pieces are in addition to a great curriculum of theory, composition, scales, and more. This keeps him engaged and motivated. Sarah's communication with both my son and my family is fantastic. I highly recommend Sarah!

My two children have been taking piano lessons with Sarah for many years. Sarah is an amazing teacher and really cares about her students and gets to know them as people. She has so many tricks up her sleeve to keep kids engaged and interested in learning. We are so glad we were able to pivot to online lessons during COVID and are still going strong.
