About Sarah Waycott

​​A UK-based versatile flautist, cellist, conductor and teacher, Sarah has many years of experience as a professional soloist, ensemble musician and runs a successful teaching practice offering both face-to-face and online lessons. With 20 years of experience as a teacher Sarah regularly holds lessons in schools, at home and online. Having worked with young children and adults alike, Sarah welcomes enquiries from students of all ages and abilities. From complete beginners to the more advanced, being passionate about what she does, Sarah helps her students to achieve their goals by encouraging expression, exploration, and most importantly, enjoyment for music. This fun and friendly environment has meant students have continued lessons long term with Sarah and she has even enjoyed watching many of them grow and progress for their full 7 years through secondary school and sixth form, with countless excellent results for both ABRSM and Trinity grades. That said, there is never any pressure for students to take exams and Sarah is just as excited to work with those who really just want to play and progress for fun! Music is not about competition, 'box ticking' or feeling like you have to follow others. It's about finding your voice, sharing your love of music and making your own goals!
