Since the age of 5, Sannah has always had a passion for music and has continued this love through her comitted involvement at Mary Hare Grammar School and the University of Wolverhampton, where her principal instrument was the flute. Sannah has performed at grand venues and amongst famous musicians and has been involved in several projects highlighting the need for accessible music for the deaf; Will Young at BBC Children in Need, CBSO Mussorgsky’s ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’ project, Globe Theatre in Blackpool, Queens Golden Jubilee in Berkshire, and Liverpool’s Deaf Arts Day. Her compositions have also been well received with Barclays Global Investors, RAWdance, and Common Ground Sign Dance Theatre Company; to name but a few!

She has explored different avenues on how to make music enjoyable for the deaf and this was supported by Deafax; a charity based in the UK, where a Visual Music software was created to focus on basic elements of Pulse, Rhythm and Literacy, which was successful in schools in Reading, Birmingham and London.

Sannah realised that there was a niche in the educational world on the subject of music and deafness and felt this was an area that needed more awareness. It was then, she decided to write a dissertation challenging the steotypical views of deafness and the ability for deaf people to learn and perform music; ‘Deafness: no barrier to music?’

She believes that music should not be missed from our daily lives and that it is a vital contribution to society for all.
