Sarah Williams is a 15-year-old soprano, from England. Music was always a very huge part of her life. Sarah was only 5-years-old when her primary school's music teacher, Mrs. Messer, realized her amazing talent and offered her the lead role in the school's Christmas production of "Finlo. " Her parent's were then immediately advised, after the outstanding and immensely talented performance of their young daughter that they should immediately arrange for private voice lessons with the famous English soprano Sarah Poole.

Those years have gone fast for Sarah and since then she has been examined by “the Royal Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music" five times and has passed with flying colours. Sarah is now studying for her last three grades. In 2001, Sarah decided to enter, "the A & F Competitive Festival of Music and Art." In the end, she came home with two trophies, three distinctions, and one merit first award. In 2002, Sarah entered again and received the same awards, plus another trophy. Every year Sarah enters she gets better. And obviously the judges see that. You can't get better than first! The judges were "wowed" by her great talent. In 2003, she won the same awards again, which is so incredible that she got the same awards all three times.

To date she has a grand total of 11 certificates, eight trophies, all in the short space of only three years. Sarah has high hopes for next year where she hopes to do event better. Sarah is very lovely because she doesn't spend time criticizing what could have been better; she just puts her heart into what's next, which is a very worthy trait.
