Bio:

Sarah Bucher, soprano, holds a Master’s degree in Vocal Performance from Wright State University and a Bachelor’s degree in Music and Business Management from Wittenberg University. She founded Bella Musica Lesson Studio & Music Store in 2012, which at one time employed over 25 teachers and support staff and boasted 250+ students. With the addition of twins to an already energetic toddler in the family, she sold the studio and now operates her teaching business out of her home. Sarah has taught private voice lessons at both public and private schools in the Dayton area, including Stiver’s School for the Arts and at her in-home studio. Both her voice and piano students have participated and earned Superior ratings in state solo and ensemble contests and the National Federation of Music Clubs Festival Competitions. Sarah is an active member of the Dayton Music Club and NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing). Sarah has been a guest vocal director for two shows with the Children’s Performing Arts of Miamisburg (a musical theater organization for kids 4th through 12th grade with an emphasis on education through performance). She looks forward to being able to direct more shows with this group and others.

In addition to teaching and directing, Sarah also enjoys performing. Her expressive lyric soprano voice has led to the roles of Nella in Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi, Lisa in Bellini’s La Sonnambula, Geraldine in Samuel Barber’s A Hand of Bridge, and Lucy Lockit in John Gay’s The Beggar’s Opera. She has also earned the title roles in Suor Angelica and Arabella. Sarah was the winner of the Wright State University Concerto-Aria Competition and was a finalist in the university’s Honors Recital competition. She has been a featured soloist in the Wright State University Arts Gala, with Musica! (Dayton), and the soprano soloist for the Sulphur Grove United Methodist Church annual production of the Messiah. OperaWorks Advanced Artist summer program chose Sarah to participate in their training program and production of an original opera. Sarah also created and directed Vocal-Improvisation Night for undergraduate music majors at Wright State University. Currently, Sarah sings with the Dayton Opera Chorus and was recently heard as a principal with Opera Project Columbus.

Sarah lives in Bellbrook, Ohio with her husband, Eric; eldest daughter, Lydia, and twins, Alyssa & Bryson.
