Sarah Siegler Komponist

Sarah Siegler grew up in La Crosse, Wisconsin, the youngest of four in a musical family. She played piano, trumpet, and violin growing up, participating in everything from marching band, jazz band and choir at school, to the La Crosse Youth Symphony orchestras in the community. However, during these busy days of performing, she always admired composers and secretly wondered what it would be like “to be John Williams”...so, she wrote her first song on violin called “Caterpillar Boogie”, and, the journey began.

After graduation from Luther High School in Onalaska, WI, she received a BA in Music Education from St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN, in 2001. She followed her dream to move “out East” and taught elementary and middle school orchestra in central Connecticut for nine years. During that time she was also active as church choir director and performer in the Farmington Valley Symphony. She also pursued and received her Master of Music Education, with a string emphasis, at VanderCook College of Music in Chicago, IL in 2009. It was during her time in graduate school that she started carving out and dedicating more time to write music, and hopes to continue to do so.

Sarah currently is the grade school and high school orchestra director for Shoreland Lutheran High School in Somers, WI. She has enjoyed moving back to the Midwest, being closer to family, especially being an Aunt to her five energetic nieces and nephew.
