Driven by the belief that curiosity is the greatest teacher, Sadie feels her role with students is to inspire excellence, cultivate artistry, and help them realize their fullest potential as independent learners. She affirms that this is best accomplished by creating a safe and FUN space where questions are king, mistakes welcomed, and positive reinforcement (and laughter!) is the norm.
Engaging.
Sadie believes that when students take ownership of their education, they become more receptive to the discipline needed for success. She lets students guide the learning process by meeting them where they are, adapting to their needs, and encouraging them to explore their musical interests.
Educational.
In a practical sense, her approach leads to a solid foundation in technique and competency in sight-reading, includes music history and written music theory, and utilizes age-appropriate games and listening activities.
Enjoyable.
