Singer Songwriter Artist Mentor 35 years experience offering Bespoke songwriting lessons and artist development. Teach Music production on logic and guitar and vocal and performance techniques.

As a professional gigging muso of many years, and a published poet/writer, I am lucky enough to have worked with many famous people.

But, for me, there is no one with Sarah Stanton's electricity in writing and musical composition.

Some of the best songs I have been a part of, came from Sarah's creativity.

I kind of want to quote some of her lyrics right here.

And sing her songs.

No wish to gush ... Js.

Sarah is probably one of the best songwriters I know. She moves me. There is pure depth and poetry in her writing. She has an innate ability to communicate through music, more than anyone I have ever known. And I don't say that lightly.

Her lyrics; her music; have made me strain arms, and drop tears.

It's been many years since we worked together. But I could still recite much of Sarah's set.

That's the best part of my heart's blood talking.

An honest appraisal of a magical songwriter

Nothing more.

Sincerely,

Graham Hennessy.

I felt inspired, uplifted and encouraged after having a session with Sarah.
Her extensive experience and passion for song writing has been a gift she passes on. Truly, thank you Sarah and rock on!

I studied with Sarah for 4 months. She’s a fantastic teacher. Kind, knowledgeable, patient and highly enthusiastic.
She would often work on the project she was helping me with outside of lesson time just to show me ideas she thought we’re cool. She has a Myriad of techniques to help get out of a creative rut or block, which is what I found most useful.
She showed me methods and techniques for:
Generating and refining melody.
Writing interesting lyrics.
Developing an arrangement.
And Structuring a song.
All of which have become significant elements of my writing process.
Thank you Sarah!

I first met Sarah many years ago when she was known as a great song writer. I am retired now and decided to fulfil my life long ambition to sing. I had not even been accepted in the school choir when young. I phoned Sarah and she agreed to take me on. First she taught me to breathe...a revelation! Then we went through the scales and found my vocal range. I can now sing a little Joan Baez among other great vocalists. Sarah is a brilliant teacher and I can't thank her enough for the extra dimension and joy she has brought to my life.

"I am Loulou Healy, a singer/songwriter who has had the privilege of working with Sarah for the past three years. During this time, Sarah has not only helped me develop my skills as a songwriter and singer, but also as a performer and artist. She has encouraged me to write in French, and has helped me improve my vocals, paying close attention to breath control and fluidity.
Sarah has worked with me from a high standard and worked our way down, helping me to develop my ears by analyzing sounds and making sure the music sits well in the track. We have also worked on looking at space in the music, and developing my skills in lyricism, making me more articulate and effective in my storytelling. Sarah has introduced me to new approaches to songwriting, and we have analyzed songs together to help me understand structure.
In addition to helping me improve my technical skills, Sarah has also had a massive impact on my mental health by teaching me that I can turn to music as a source of comfort. She has analyzed my work thoroughly, unpicked it, figured out my strong and weak points, and helped me build from there.
Overall, I highly recommend Sarah as a mentor for anyone looking to develop their skills in singing, songwriting, and performance. Her passion, dedication, and expertise have had a tremendous impact on my growth as an artist."
