About Sara

Sara Frankel is an American violist who recently completed both a Professional Diploma and a Master of Music (MMus) at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. She studied under the renowned Dr. Rivka Golani and was awarded both the Esta Finlay and Loveday Scholarships in recognition of her artistic excellence. She holds an Advanced Music Studies Certificate and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Viola Performance, with a minor in Sonic Arts, from Carnegie Mellon University, where she graduated with University Honours. While at Carnegie Mellon, Sara studied with esteemed viola professors David Harding and Tatjana Chamis Mead. Alongside her classical training, she collaborated with internationally acclaimed electronic musicians Jesse Stiles and Annie Hui-Hsin Hseih on interdisciplinary projects that integrated music with computer programming, including performances with electronic ensembles and the creation of multimedia installations. During her final year at Carnegie Mellon, Sara was inducted into the Pi Kappa Lambda National Music Honour Society and received the Tuesday Music Club Competition Scholarship. A notable highlight of her performance career includes giving the United States premiere of Sarabande, a solo work by Canadian composer David Jaeger, during his residency with the Canadian Electronic Ensemble at CMU. Sara has performed at many of the world’s leading concert venues, including Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall, the DiMenna Center for Classical Music, Carnegie Music Hall, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, and Kresge Theatre, among others. Now based in the United Kingdom, Sara is eager to continue her musical journey and looks forward to building connections with fellow musicians and music enthusiasts.

About the lesson

Sara brings a wealth of teaching experience, having worked with students ranging in age from four to seventy-four, across a variety of instruments and disciplines including violin, viola, piano, and music theory. Deeply committed to music outreach, Sara draws from personal experience having grown up with an older brother with special needs, to create inclusive and engaging musical environments. This dedication led her to co-found Azure Family Concerts of Pittsburgh, a concert series designed for families with behavioural and sensory needs. Her teaching philosophy emphasises a collaborative, hands-on approach tailored to each student’s individual learning style.

I loved playing viola as a kid and always wanted to return to it as an adult. Despite being nervous, studying with Sara has been so rewarding. She’s thoughtful and skilled and explains everything clearly without getting frustrated at my beginner skills.

Sara’s approach is both supportive and challenging. She adapts lessons to what my personal goals are and makes learning viola fun. I’ve improved more than I expected both technically and musically.

If you’re looking for a viola teacher who’s encouraging, knowledgeable, and truly invested in her students, I highly recommend Sara.

Sara truly was a life changing instructor for me. She took me from completely inexperienced in the Viola, to a very high proficiency. She was always patient and incredibly instructive. I could not believe how affordable her rates were for her level of experience and talents. I recommend Sara to everyone I know, and highly encourage anyone reading this to reach out to her. She just might change your life!
