Sarah Peters, creator of World Citizen Baby, grew up in a home where music was always central to family gatherings and was treated as something as natural as breathing. She received her BA in Theatre Acting/Directing from Mesa State College in Colorado, where she also studied music and dance, and she spent several years in Chicago working as a theatre actor. In January 2003, she completed the Music Together teacher training and began teaching early childhood music around town, including at the Old Town School of Folk Music, where she learned to play guitar and first discovered capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art. In July 2004, she studied classical acting techniques with the British American Drama Academy in Oxford, UK. She is a founding member of Song Weavers, an a capella song/chant group that has performed in Sebastapol, CA, New York City, and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Sarah has been teaching Music Together in LA since she moved here in July 2005 and began developing World Citizen Baby in January 2007.
Sarah's passion for global community, world music and multilingual families led to the creation of World Citizen Music. She plays guitar, banjo, djembe (African drum), flute, bodhran (a Celtic drum) and berimbau (Afro-Brazilian instrument) in class. Sarah's cd, Rest My Love, a collection of lullabies from around the world, is available on iTunes, on Spotify, YouTube or any of your favorite streaming services.
