Sarah's original research on the Medieval harp in England. and the Regency harp, harp-lute and Dital harp, has also lead her to giving lecture tours around the world, in particular for the Arts society in UK and Australia.

Her collection of information and images from both periods has lead her to holding workshops for harpists on both subjects on playing styles and context.
