My two older children have learnt piano with Sarah from when they were beginners, and now my youngest is starting and he is so excited! Sarah makes learning fun, and her patience and humour makes her so relatable. The kids really enjoy their lessons. I have recommended Sarah to several friends and will definitely continue to do so.

Since 2017, our children have had the privilege of being mentored by their outstanding piano teacher, Sarah Pointing. Her teaching style is patient, enthusiastic, fun, and demonstrates an obvious level of skill. The dedication she brings to cultivating not just technical proficiency but also a love for music is truly commendable.
Our children have not only honed their technical abilities under her tutelage but have also gained invaluable exposure to performance opportunities through Sarah’s annual performances, as well as the world of classical music on group concert excursions. Her commitment to providing a well-rounded musical education is evident in the holistic approach she fosters.
A testament to her effectiveness is our daughter’s recent success in completing the AMEB Piano for Leisure Preliminary Exam. This was a significant initial milestone, and we were particularly delighted with the unwavering technical guidance and emotional support that Sarah provided during the exam preparation. It was our daughter’s first exam, and Sarah’s teaching played a pivotal role in our daughter’s achievement.
In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend Sarah Pointing to prospective students and their families. Her blend of expertise, encouragement, and passion for music creates an enriching and inspiring learning environment.

I highly recommend Sarah, and can say she is very good at keeping young children focused and interested, and to enjoy learning piano. My 5 and 6 year olds have had lessons for over a year now, and they love coming every week.

If you want to play piano for fun as an adult learner you can’t go wrong learning from Sarah. She’s always encouraging and positive, which makes learning a joy, and her music knowledge and constructive feedback on your playing are exceptionally sharp. She sprinkles in theory knowledge where you need it so it’s not technically overwhelming. Sarah has a great collection of music of many styles and abilities so there’s always something to choose to play. Highly recommended teacher.

I was fortunate to be able to attend the end of year concert at Ferny Grove High School auditorium. Wow! Very professional! All of the students performed on a grand piano with parents and friends viewing from tiered, comfortable seating. The rapport between teacher and students was palpable with Sarah doing duets with some of the younger students to give them confidence. She performed a lovely piece as well which was beautiful!! She created a totally supportive environment for her students.

Her professionalism is matched by her friendly and warm nature, and this makes every lesson an enjoyable experience.
