Sarah was born in 1988 and has been playing since she was six, when she received a keyboard for Christmas. She progressed so well that her parents found her a tutor and, at the age of just 7, she started performing in public.
She went on to become the first winner of the Mark Shakespeare Memorial shield at the age of 8, awarded to her at the Barton Hall music festival in Torquay. She was taught by her local Yamaha school until they closed down. She then had a private tutor until he moved up country, and now works on her own music and arrangements.
At 8 years old she was featured on BBC Spotlight news and her public appearances really took off. Since then she has played allover the UK at many different venues, the biggest being at the Yamaha showcase at the Birmingham symphony hall with a group of other students. Sarah progressed to Electronic Organ when she was 11, starting with a Yamaha HCW4 and working up through the Yamaha EL series to her present EL700. She also plays the alto saxophone..
Over the past few years Sarah has built up a strong reputation on the UK organ and keyboard circuit and regularly performs nationwide. However, she enjoys playing for local charities as well, and also performs in theatres and at various hotels around the Torbay area, combining humour into some of her acts.
In 2007 Sarah passed all her A levels in music, music tech and performing arts and is now fully focussed omn her musical career. She also has a city and guilds qualification in Sound Engineering.
Sarah will also be featured at the following festivals this year.
