About
Hi! I'm Sarah Beth Andrews, professional singer, actress, and coach. With 15 + years of voice training rooted in classical technique I sing and teach all styles and genres, Musical Theatre being my specialty. I have a BFA in Musical Theatre from Montclair State and I'm a proud member of Actor's Equity Association (AEA) and The National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS). I've been performing professionally for over a decade including regional theatre productions, cruise ships and more and I've been teaching for 7 years. (check out my website for full bio)
I work with each student extremely personally, always catering to the student's individual needs, goals, and interests. My goal for my students is to instill a solid foundation of technique that helps them understand how their instrument works, educate them about vocal heath, and empower their creativity into artistic choices.

I just started to see Sarah in January she is very encouraging. Her lessons are relaxed and she gives really great feedback. She is understanding of the plight of being a student and affording lessons and gives discounted for her lessons. I really improved my vocal range while I was with her and I didn’t even realize it which is the best part! Singing should not feel grueling or like a task. You should feel free and feel like you having a great time even if it challenging, which is the environment Sarah demonstrates in her lessons.

Sarah Beth was an exemplar master class leader for the MU Players audition workshop. Her encouraging attitude elevated every single participant’s performance. She enhanced our presentations by recognizing that strength lies within all of us, and that quality is worthy of being seen.
As someone who has not always had the best experience with masterclasses, Sarah Beth made me feel safe and heard, and inspired me to chase all of my dreams.

Sarah Beth was incredibly sweet to all of our students, no matter what their level of expertise or questions were. She brought a fun and supportive energy to the audition workshop, and I definitely recommend her for groups with any level of theater training! Thank you Sarah Beth!

Sarah is extremely welcoming. I am a shy person, but it feels natural to trust her as a student.
I came to her after deciding I wasn’t satisfied with the teacher I had at the time and she had really made a good impression over the phone. She took the time to ask me questions about what my goals are and didn’t make me feel pressured to make a decision right away. She even discounts the first lesson/ trial lesson!
I have been with her for a couple months now and I am so happy with my progress. I see her weekly for 90 minutes and her attention to detail and approach to teaching me good vocal technique has been really rewarding. I am sure I would not have the ability I possess now if it would not have been for her. I fee like she takes advantage of every minute of the lesson to teach as much as she can, to warm me up and to coach me through songs that I want to sing. We have even expanded my range by a lot. Every lesson I go higher and higher.
I love to sing and want to turn it into a career, so getting better at singing means everything to me. I really feel like Sarah is unlocking my vocal potential and I’m really excited to see what else is to come with her as my teacher!

I have been working with Sarah for almost a year now and Ive improved greatly. Since I started working with Sarah, I have gotten better roles and have been much more confident in my vocal abilities as well as when performing onstage. Sarah has helped my expand my range and improve my voice, and has been my biggest cheerleader every step of the way.

How did you get started teaching?
I have been a singing all my life but when I was 19 I had a cyst on my left vocal cord that was eventually surgically removed. That experience changed my life! After rehabilitating/training with some of the top voice teachers, singing voice specialists, and Speech Language Pathologists, I became a total voice nerd and was inspired take vocal pedagogy classes in college. I learned about vocal anatomy, health and teaching fundementals. With my new understanding my instrument and my natrual nack for treaching it was a no brainer from there.

I work with students of all ages, levels, and backrounds however I particuarly enjoy working with teens and adults. My specialties include:
-Technique
-Voice Development
-Mixing
-Musical Theatre Repertoire
-Vocal Health (preventative and rehabilitative)
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Honestly, I love coaching so much there's too many to just pick one. But I will say that I love seeing my musical theatre students perform in shows that I've coached them through from their audition. It's extremely rewarding seeing them on stage confident and solid in their role.

1. Has an expert understanding of how the instrument works, has a trusted foundation of technique, and stresses vocal health as the priority.
2. You feel comfortable with and explains things in a way that makes sense to you.
