Sadie is the most devoted teacher with her piano students. She is committed to excellence in every way. She is fun but also sets goals and expectations for each student so that they learn to play. They love learning with her!

Our kids have been having great time with Sadie. They progressed fast. Sadie is very professional, energetic and kind. She is great at communicating with kids and at delivering the music knowledge and skill to my kids efficiently.

Sadie was absolutely wonderful as the pianist at our cocktail fundraiser party. She was not only professional, arriving 15 minutes before her time to start, but also set the tone for an elegant, classic night, achieving the desired ambiance we had hoped for. She is beautifully versed in her musical repertoire. She has a very nice demeanor and is wonderful with children as well. She has been teaching piano to our daughters for several months. She has a gentle yet enthusiastic way of relating to youngsters. We think Sadie is great and has been a blessing to our family! ”

“I highly recommend Sadie. I am an adult “retired” RN who wanted only to learn piano for my own personal enjoyment and not particularly skilled. I am so grateful and impressed that Sadie, who is an esteemed and accomplished pianist, could be so responsive to my limitations and interests and subsequently, I have met those initial goals. If Sadie were not moving I would confidently set my goals much higher and continue under her tutelage.”
- Christine Bolger, adult student
"Sadie is an excellent piano teacher. She taught my 3 girls for about a year and they absolutely loved her and learning to play the piano. She clearly loves teaching and is a passionate musician. She was able to inspire my girls as well as adapt to each of their styles to optimize their learning. We were so sad that she moved, but DC is getting a fantastic musician and a wonderful piano teacher.”

I highly recommend Nathaniel Hoyt, cellist and his sister Sadie, pianist. They both played at my daughter’s catholic wedding, and they were absolutely wonderful. Before the ceremony they were incredible with communication and extremely flexible. It was obvious that they knew how special this day was for all of us because they did everything to ensure we had the music we wanted and then they performed all of it beautifully. They are so kind and very professional. Everyone commented how beautiful the music was. I only have positive comments about our experience with them. Thanks again Nathaniel and Sadie!
