Welcome Sara Alt! By Jasper Curtis ’22 Sara Alt (a.k.a. S. Alt) is a new and wonderful addition to the Hebron Academy Performing Arts department. Ms. Alt was taught to “think creatively and love learning,” which shows in her personal life as well as her teaching style. She enjoys expanding her palate in many fields, like reading and music, and by cooking dishes from around the world. Ms. Alt also loves to travel, and she has participated in many singing tours in the United States, Europe, and the British Isles, performing with the Bel Canto Chorus of Milwaukee, the Milwaukee Symphony Chorus, Skylight Opera, and the New Amsterdam Singers, to name a few. Her experience in music does not end there, as she has been teaching different fields of music across the East Coast and Midwest for twenty plus years, including: chorus, orchestra, band, general music, digital music, and music theory. Ms. Alt has loved getting to know everyone at Hebron Academy and sharing stories by the bonfire. She encourages students to explore music to its fullest and never holds us back from creation. For example, her audio recording class is full of students who prefer to work on projects as a group, as opposed to working alone. She is 100% on board with this type of group; not only is she okay with it, she happily encourages her students to create something they love. When asked about the upcoming Winter Concert, Ms. Alt gave a quote instead of an explanation: "Everything will be revealed at its proper time." Sara Alt is an encouraging and amazing addition to the faculty staff, and we can not wait to see what she, as well as the Performing Arts department, does in the future.
