“Our family had a delightful time immersing ourselves in appreciating the music of the nutcracker under Sadie’s direction. The boys love applying what they learned to other classical pieces, seriously identifying glissandos and parsing out the composers’ meaning. Sadie is a talented musician and music educator.”

“We just finished your Nutcracker guide, and oh, we loved it! Although we’ve watched it performed several times, you really showed us how the music itself tells the story. My sons were so engaged through the listening activities. Now that my boys have seen the magic of Tchaikovsky’s ballet, they have a request – can you please make another guide for his Swan Lake?” – Carla Morgan

“Completing your lesson after just seeing the show when it was fresh in our minds was so special. It helped us listen to the music with fresh ears and appreciate it in a new way. The girls would hear a song and then remember a costume, dance, or other detail from the performance and talk about it with delight throughout the lesson. I saw that someone on your Instagram commented that they loved doing it before the show and we loved doing it after the show. It is such a lovely resource that would be perfect to do before or after getting to see it live.” -Marisa B.

“The girls loved hearing about the story again and learning the corresponding music. They happily completed the worksheets as well as the coloring sheets. This lesson was such a special treat. It was well done and festive!”
