I am a physical therapist and mother of three. I have had the
pleasure of knowing Sarah Oppenheim Beggs for over three years in the capacity
of voice teacher for my daughters age 14 and 16.
We have found her to be an exceptional teacher. Her approach is
balanced and sensitive, and draws from a wide knowledge base. She is always
enthusiastic and positive exhibiting a true love of what she does. Our girls are
extremely comfortable in her presence finding her to be an approachable, kind
and caring person. She is able to beautifully tailor instruction to each girl's
individual needs and patiently brings out the best each has to offer.
We were very sad that she when she left Maui one year ago but
understood and admired her need to move to where she could further her own
learning and accumulation of experience. We have been able to continue lessons
via skype since then and we feel blessed that Haley and Erica continue to have
the opportunity to work and learn with such a wonderful individual. -

Sarah is an amazing teacher, with wisdom that goes well beyond
singing instruction. Sarah taught me from my time in middle school through high
school. With Sarah, I have learned about voice and life. She helped me during
my most formative years and stands out as a teacher, mentor, and friend who
truly made a difference in my life. I plan to have my son study voice with
Sarah when he is a bit older, just as I, my brother, and my sister studied with
her. So I guess you can say she is a family tradition. The type of family
tradition that leads you to carry a tune and love opera (me), study at Berkelee
College of Music and have recording deals (my brother), and have that kind of
singing voice that stops crowds (my sister). I cannot wait for the next
chapter! - Karen G P
How can I even begin to express my love, admiration and
appreciation for Sarah? I have known Sarah for 15 years. My older sister started
taking voice lessons with her when she was in middle school & I when I was old
enough I began vocal training with her as well. Our youngest sister was only
able to enjoy Sarah's teachings for a short time before Sarah and her husband
moved their lives to Maui. I am so glad that they are back and that Sarah is
teaching in California again. Not only is Sarah an extremely talented singer
herself, but she has the unique ability to pass her wisdom of singing on to
individuals with delicate understanding & graceful professionalism. She is
extremely nurturing and kind, smart and witty, & takes special care with each
student to help hone their gift as an individual. Even though my sisters and I
all took lessons with Sarah, she treated us and our voices with individual
perspective and never once compared us to one another. I have always been lucky
to call her a dear friend as well as my vocal couch. I highly recommend seeking
her skills. She is wonderful! - Mrogan C.
