Exactly what we wanted

Sarah was a wonderful and integral part of our wedding celebration. In planning for the event, she was always available. She made some suggestions based on what I told her I wanted, then ultimately played mostly songs that I requested, even eagerly learning those she did not already know. At the last minute, the baby grande was out of commission, and we had to bring in an acoustic piano i.e. an upright, that we were assured was “100% in tune.” Even from the next room, I could hear that that wasn’t the case, but I didn’t hear any complaints from Sarah and she played beautifully despite the road block. She composes her own pieces as well, which are quite lovely. She played classical pieces as well a handful of covers of our songs most meaningful to us.

I don’t have photos yet but can try to add them when available.

Sarah is absolutely excellent in all she does!

Sarah from the very get-go showed incredible professionalism in the way she communicated to her ability to paint a clear picture for every question I had. Her ability to play is second to none and her playing of her instrument was truly excellent! Whould have her back anytime!

About

My name is Sarah McFarland, and I have been playing music for 30 years! I first started in piano at age 6 and never stopped. I went on to get my degree in Music from California State University, Bakersfield with an emphasis in Piano Performance. I have performed as an accompanist, soloist, and as part of collaborative piano and ensemble groups since 2004. I have conducted and served as first chair piano in pit orchestras, accompanied vocalists and choral groups, and conducted choirs at CMEA rating festivals. Today, I work as a music teacher and pianist serving clients all over California! I look forward to meeting you and bring music to compliment your event!

Additional booking notes

Please note: I unfortunately do not have a traveling rig- piano would need to be available on-site to play.
