Sarah Anne Meyer, historical flutist

Sarah is a native of Texas, the Lone Star State, and a new arrival in Edinburgh after finishing her Masters in Music at McGill University in Montreal in Spring 2011. Before embarking on that journey, she assisted at a performing arts center project, the ConstellationCenter, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and before that, she completed Bachelors Degrees in Music and German at the University of North Texas. She has been playing the Baroque flute for about ten years after discovering the instrument while working on her modern flute vibrato technique (vibrato is not used on the Baroque flute). When not in the practice room, she enjoys sailing and the outdoors in general. In particular, she recently heard a loon for the first time while sitting in a canoe on a lake in Canada. Sarah can be heard playing modern flute, Baroque flute (one-keyed flute), Classical flute (eight-keyed flute), recorder and even a little bit of tin whistle. She teaches on the modern flute, Baroque flute, and recorder, as well as teaching the academic disciplines of music history and theory.
