Singing Lessons with Purpose: Learn, Create, and Grow with Sarah Liam Not Just Singing Lessons — Build Your Musical Identity with Sarah

After completing my bachelor's degree in piano performance, I transitioned into teaching, where I cultivated a keen interest in understanding human behavior and decision-making. This led me to pursue a Master of Music Education at the esteemed Royal College of Music in London. Throughout my studies, , I became a dedicated piano teacher in primary schools across London, combining my passion for music with my commitment to education.I served as a piano teacher in a primary school located in West London, beginning in the January term and continuing through the end of the 2023 school year, concluding in July. During my tenure at that primary school, I had the privilege of working with numerous KS1 and KS2 students, nurturing their enthusiasm for music, with a particular focus on piano.Just like my experience at the previous primary school, I embarked on a new journey at another primary school in West London, driven by my dedication to teaching children and enhancing their comprehension of music. As part of this endeavor, I organized a summer concert for the students, involving their parents.

1. Learner-Centered & Identity-Based Teaching You design every lesson around the student’s identity, interests, learning style, and musical background. Instead of one fixed curriculum, you customize the journey so students feel safe, confident, and creatively involved. Your priority is to help learners build their own musical voice, not copy someone else’s. 2. Simultaneous Learning Approach (Inspired by Paul Harris & RCM Practice) You never teach isolated skills. Every concept—rhythm, pitch, phrasing, harmony—is taught in connection with each other. This helps students: understand music more deeply learn faster avoid confusion stay motivated You naturally combine listening, reading, improvising, and technique within each lesson. 3. Reflective Practice for Both Teacher & Student A core part of your methodology is reflection. You encourage students to ask: What did I learn today? What made this easier or harder? How did this piece make me feel? You yourself also reflect after lessons, just like the RCM training taught you, so you constantly refine your craft.
