Sarah Maxted is an experienced music educator, currently specialising in leading ‘Babysalmesang in English’ classes for English-speaking parents and babies in the Copenhagen area.

Sarah first studied singing pedagogy and workshop leadership as part of her Vocal Studies degree at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and then worked for several years as an early years music class leader in London, teaching babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers at The Little London Music School. After moving to Copenhagen in 2019, Sarah’s work as a church singer introduced her to the Danish phenomenon of ‘babysalmesang’, a special style of music class for babies and new parents, which can be translated as ‘baby-hymn-singing’. In November 2021 Sarah organised and led the first ‘Discover Babysalmesang’ workshop in English at Eliaskirken in Vesterbro. Then in April 2022 she completed the Danish babysalmesang training course ‘Babysalmesang – methodology and practice’ at the Sjælland School of Church Music.

Sarah continues to teach regular ‘Babysalmesang in English’ classes at Eliaskirken and beyond - visit babysalmesanginenglish.com or follow @babysalmesang.in.english on Instagram for booking and more information.
