In this weeks episode of Gosimcha: The Podcast, we sit down with award-winning composer and pianist Sarah Dukes. Sarah Dukes […]
Sarah Dukes started playing piano when she was six years old and composed her first song at the mere age of eight. Classically trained until she was 18, the North Carolina raised pianist increasingly turned to her music and songwriting as a way of expressing herself, and by the time Sarah finished high school, she had a stirring collection of original pieces that made up her debut album, "Finding Forever", performed by world-renowned pianist, Yaron Gershovsky. Dukes was handpicked by Whisperings-Solo Piano Radio as one of their exclusively featured solo piano artists, and her richly nuanced songs have been featured in several popular documentaries produced by Jewish Educational Media, as well as streamed on various international channels including Enlightened Piano Radio, One World Music Radio, and Pandora. Sarah's pieces have also been featured in the in-flight entertainment package for a few airlines. Sarah recently released a new album of original piano solos, “Life Sometimes”, which has been selected a winner in the Global Music Awards and was honored with a Silver Medal for Outstanding Achievement in Music in the New Age Solo Piano and Album categories. This album was ranked #17 on Zone Music Reporter's “Top 100 Radio Airplay” chart, and was on the first round ballot for the 59th GRAMMY® Awards. Additionally, Dukes' emotional composition, "Dancing in the Dark" has been selected as a finalist in The John Lennon Songwriting Contest in the World category of 2016. The most recent releases of her singles One: Orchestrated Version, and Raining Rockets introduced a new level of musical beauty to her already powerful collection of original compositions. Sarah's compositions offer listeners soothing, melodic arrangements bursting with an emotional energy that is unmistakably straight from the heart.

It’s no fun arguing, least of all with your ex-partner over things as important as your children, your finances and your future. That’s why I chat to Sarah Dukes, experienced mediator, family dispute resolution practitioner, teacher, coach, counsellor and the founder of Peymac Mediations. In this podcast we discuss: the crisis of change – what it is and how to cope; the most difficult decisions to make during the crisis period; how to prepare mentally for dispute resolution; the importance of a parenting plan; making the transition from an ‘intimate’ to a ‘co-parenting’ relationship; peaceful resolution ideas for sharing assets; and Sarah shares some brilliant reading material to help you and your children at this difficult time.
