Sarah Hughes

As you would probably expect, I love playing the piano!  I also play the flute and particularly love the Baroque recorder repertoire. I love to sing in harmony (though no-one would pay to come and listen to me!).  I was classically trained and love classical music, but I enjoy a wide variety of musical styles.

I also love teaching (both my parents were school teachers) and I have a genuine interest in working out how each child ticks, especially those with learning difficulties or quirks.

Some random facts about me:  I love cats.  I enjoy quilting and have a slight obsession with buying fabric.  My current quilting project is a Penrose tiling for my son.  I try to lead a conservative Christian life with my husband, son and daughter, and regularly play the organ for our congregation.  We attend a Medieval Fair every year – one day my family might even get me to go in costume!

(I also hang out my washing with colour coded pegs but don’t tell anyone that!)

Qualifications

I have qualifications in piano performance and education.  I take my professional development seriously and regularly attend events to update my knowledge. I am a member of several creative piano teaching online groups.
