How I Work
We begin with a free 30-minute session to discuss your vocal history and goals. Coaching is personal, and it's important to check we're a good fit!
Following this session, we'll agree on a plan that suits your goals.
I don't offer one-off sessions to students I haven't previously worked with.
About
Sarah
'I am an experienced professional singer with a background in linguistics. I help people explore and develop their vocal skills - whether for performance, confidence, or curiosity.'
Sarah studied English Language and Linguistics at the University of Edinburgh, followed by Musical Theatre training at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. She grew up singing classically (Bel Canto) and later in Estill Voice and Nadine George Voice Work.
She has performed around the world, including Off-Broadway, and has worked with (and learned from) many wonderful humans along the way. Now based in Edinburgh with her young family, she is passionate about using her knowledge and experience to help others discover the full potential of their voice.
Testimonials
"I can’t express enough how transformative my experience with Sarah has been. As a voice teacher, she has not only helped me improve my singing skills but has also played a crucial role in building my confidence and self-acceptance since moving to Scotland. Her encouraging approach, support, and deep understanding of both technique and emotion have allowed me to explore my voice and express myself authentically. Thanks to Sarah, I feel empowered and comfortable in my own skin, both on and off the stage. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to grow not just as a singer, but as a person."
Hannah-Mae, MFA Acting student at Napier University
"A singing lesson with Sarah is like taking a “joy pill”. My daughter comes out of every singing lesson with Sarah on a real high and can’t wait to go back the following week.
After only a year of lessons with Sarah, Lucy has managed to secure a place to study Musical Theatre at Italia Conti. Sarah is amazing!"
Alison, Lucy's Mum
"Sarah is a fantastic teacher. She is super welcoming and makes you feel comfortable.
Focused on meeting your own goals/preferred sound, she has great expertise and can quickly identify how to solve any issue, with a fun (and often funny) exercise!"
Eva Rose, Music HND student at Edinburgh College
Sarah is a wonderful teacher, full of passion and commitment. My 9-year-old daughter has been attending classes with Sarah since the beginning of this year, and each class is consistently engaging. Your passion for music and teaching is truly inspiring. It creates an engaging atmosphere that motivates my daughter to improve. The techniques you introduce, especially for breath control, have made a significant difference in her singing. She feel more confident tackling challenging songs. I really appreciate how you always take the time to listen to us. It makes a huge difference when I feel heard, especially when I ask questions about her progress."
Kasia, Emilia's Mum
"My weekly lessons with Sarah have completely changed how I sing for the better. In just a couple of months she's taught me so much about how to use my voice and helped me to select a variety of material which suits me and is appropriately challenging. I'm so glad I took the step to get lessons with Sarah, she is fun, open and so easy to work with. She is genuinely delighted when she hears and sees progress and it is so encouraging to have someone as talented and knowledgeable as Sarah in your corner. Can't recommend her highly enough."
Hannah, MFA Acting student at Napier University
"Our daughter loves singing with Sarah. She has learnt so much and has gained confidence to a point where she is confident singing solo in front of judges and an audience. She loves the safe, supportive environment that Sarah creates and the positive, constructive feedback. Sarah's knowledge, and experience are invaluable. But perhaps most important Sarah makes singing FUN!"
Scott, Emma's Dad
