testimonials from my students and their families

"...Gave her the courage to reach beyond her natural talent..."
"Lilly loves to sing. Working with Sarah Hawkey builds her confidence, her love of music and most of all… gave her the courage to reach beyond her natural talent to strive for technique. When Lilly performs, we feel lucky to have shared this gift with her.”

Stacy Greene, SHS Family for 4 years, Mom of Lilly
"Sarah always makes the lessons fun and puts things in a really positive way which has helped Laila come out of her shell..."
"Laila has been taking lessons with Sarah for over a year now. I have noticed how much more confident Laila is in her vocal ability. She has gained much more focus when it comes to other aspects of her life such as doing school homework because she has to make time to also practice. Sarah always makes the lessons fun and puts things in a really positive way which has helped Laila come out of her shell and feel super comfortable and confident. I love how much dedication Sarah has for her craft and how she has gone above and beyond for us."

Nadine Shuler, SHS Family for 4 years, Mom of Laila

"She will meet you wherever you are, and fine-tune her lessons to you, while also adding wisdom from her deep understanding of music and performance."
"I felt instantly at home with Sarah. Sweet, sensitive, and constantly enthusiastic, she is there to explore your voice and your full potential as a musical being, all the while feeling like you're spending time with an old friend. She will meet you wherever you are, and fine-tune her lessons to you, while also adding wisdom from her deep understanding of music and performance. You'll feel so lucky to have her in your corner!"
