Sarah Melissa Daniels
mezzo-soprano
Energy, Passion, Performance
I've been a music student since I was in 5th grade when I wanted to play flute, couldn't make a sound, and settled for a clarinet. That year made myself a flute out of rolled paper and taught myself every scale and fingering. By the end of the year, I was playing flute and playing bass clarinet in the 6th grade band.
Music is something that runs in my soul. It always has. I want to bring that life and passion to every performance, every rehearsal, every lesson, and to every student. And I know I can.
