For Sarah it was love at first sight when she saw her first harp. As a
very young girl, she was taken to rehearsals with her father when he led
the London Symphony Orchestra. She immediately fell in love with the sound
of the harp and her passion hasn't waned since! Sarah was awe struck by
it's classic, regal beauty and her heart went out to the charming, gentle
almost surreal sound. The harp still has a soothing effect on listeners
and players today and Sarah admits she gets withdrawal symptoms if she
doesn't play for a few days.

her favourite instrument and became a part of the Royal Ballet Touring

classics, folk, pop and swing and golden oldies for those nostalgic moments.
