About
Sarah started her musical journey as a pianist at a young age, and then a harpist during her teenage years. Her passion for music and harp playing eventually led her in pursuing music full time at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA). She graduated with a Diploma in Music with Distinction from NAFA, and at the same time attained the Best Graduate Award. During her studies at NAFA, she was privileged to have been under the tutelage of the harpists of the Singapore Symphony Orchestra – Gulnara Mashurova and Huang Yu-Hsin. Sarah now holds a Bachelor of Music with Honours from NAFA, in collaboration with the Royal College of Music (London).
