Sarah McCown is often seen lugging numerous instrument cases around Shenandoah Conservatory, where she is currently pursuing her doctorate in Woodwind Doubling. Growing up, she watched VHS movie-versions of musicals with her grandparents. She had no idea they were musicals; she just thought there was a lot of singing in old movies! Sarah has a passion for teaching and teaches private lessons in the area. Her free time is spent playing video games with her husband and taking their dog on hiking trips.
