Sarah Casey began playing flute when she was just seven years old, coming home and declaring she wanted to play piccolo. After some negotiation with her parents, she began flute lessons. Until she went to college, she studied with members of the President’s Own US Marine Band including; Beth Plunk, Dawn Kulak, Sharon Winton, and Ellen Dooley.
      Sarah found her true passion for performing while at James Madison University with Dr. Beth Chandler, and Ohio University studying with Alison Brown Sincoff. While in school, Sarah enjoyed performing in Wind Symphony, Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, Chamber Ensembles, and New Music Ensemble.
      Sarah can be heard on albums such as The Ohio University Wind Symphony’s album, Color + Light where she can be heard as principal flute, and alto flute soloist on Michael Daugherty’s Winter Dreams, and on Words That Sing in the Night, an album featuring William B. Yeats’ poetry in traditional Irish settings. She can also be heard on episode 20 of The Music Educator Podcast talking with Greg Childress about "Establishing Yourself After Graduation". 
     Sarah holds an active flute studio with approximately 30 students coming from Howard, Anne Arundel, Baltimore, and Prince George’s counties. Her students have been selected to play in Baltimore Symphony Side-By-Side Orchestra, All-County band and orchestra, and Chesapeake Youth Symphony Orchestra; and her students regularly receive superior ratings in county and state Solo & Ensemble.
