Sara’s journey in music started with the recorder in fourth grade music class. She loved the recorder so much that she chose to be in the recorder ensemble held after school. Like many kids, she chose to enter her school band in sixth grade, where she traded in her recorder for a trumpet.

She played the trumpet (and for a brief period, flute) all through middle school, high school, and received a full scholarship for trumpet in college. Sara graduated with a bachelor’s of music education in 2009, a master’s of education with an emphasis in technology in 2013, and a master’s of music in music education in 2015.

Sara has taught general music for grades 3-12 across two different schools and now works in higher education. However, her passion will always be school-aged general music and displayed through her shop on Teachers Pay Teachers.
