Biographical Info

Sarah achieved a first class degree in Music from the University of Nottingham – whilst there, she was active as a performer, giving recitals throughout the East Midlands and concerto performances with local orchestras. She then moved to Manchester to study for a master’s in performance at the RNCM, which she achieved with distinction. Whilst at the RNCM, she continued her activities as a recitalist and began working in a duo partnership with a singer, in addition to starting to teach on the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Her dissertation for her Master’s was on the music of Janacek, and this inspired her to begin study for a PhD – she completed her study on ‘Czech Piano Music’ at Cardiff University in 2010 and has presented at several national and international conferences. She is active as an educator, working both at Chetham’s and the RNCM in addition to her activities as a private tutor, presenter at educational conferences, and theory examiner for the ABRSM.

 

She has performed throughout the UK as a soloist and an accompanist. Sarah also teaches piano at the Junior RNCM.
