Starting with flute, age 10, Sarah quickly progressed to the tenor saxophone in order to join the school jazz band and Cornwall Youth Jazz Orchestra. After graduating from the Guildhall School of Music in London, she stayed in the capital for thirteen years, playing with several renowned bands, including the London Jazz Orchestra, Michael Garrick Jazz Band and the Guildhall Jazz Band under Scott Stroman, and leading players and jazz luminaries Kenny Wheeler, Stan Sultzman, Randy Brecker, Bobby Shew and Michel Legrand.
