"Our son has taken ukulele lessons from Sarah for almost three years. She has been a wonderful teacher. She is patient and engaged and has clear expectations. She keeps learning fun and age-appropriate and offers positive feedback. We have seen tremendous improvement in his skills and he is developing a broad understanding and love for music and is being exposed to multiple genres and styles. He looks forward to music practice and enjoys playing at home. We highly recommend Sarah."
