Destiny Studio
Best Music Studio/Lessons in Arlington & Mansfield

By Meredith Knight
Destiny Studio was a happy accident that has positively impacted the lives of young people and their families across Greater Mansfield and now in Aledo as well. Studio Owner and “Dream Coach” Sarah Duke actually started the business in her spare bedroom when she was fresh out of college and praying about what direction to take. “I’d just returned to Mansfield from Nashville with my Commercial Music degree from Belmont University,” Sarah said. “I was trying to figure out what to do with my life. In God’s providential way, one ‘next right thing’ led to another and 13 years later, I’m in awe of all He has built. I’ve been able to coach thousands of singers and musicians and become a part of their story. I couldn’t be more humbled
and grateful.”
That sentiment is reflected in a sign that hangs in Sarah office, “A million people over a million dollars”. At Destiny Studio there’s space for everyone as Sarah and her hand-selected team cultivate confidence in others, which she believes is the foundation for success in music—and in life.
“Because people matter to God they matter to us,” Sarah said. “Confidence changes people and people change the world. And can I just brag about my dynamic team? I’m blessed to work with some of the most talented, kind, charismatic, and inspiring people I know. Destiny Studio would be nothing without them.”
Those who know Sarah know her as an activator and inventor. Basically, if you want something done, call Sarah. That “something” has included founding a microschool, Wild Oak Academy (Yep, she did that.), being a sold-out, hands-on mama to four wonderful kids, Sadie, Sophie, Tate, and Tucker, juggling her own singing career which began when she was just a toddler, and running her two studios with heart and passion. And did I mention studio number three opening in early 2025?
Destiny Studio is a private music lesson studio specializing in piano, voice, guitar, drums, ukulele and early-childhood music. Their mission is to ignite passion and cultivate confidence through mentoring, training, and by sponsoring moments that matter for a lifetime. Destiny Studio has over 10 experienced and credentialed instructors and offers a wide variety of services that cater to creativity of any age. Over the past 13 years, the studio has grown from a place to simply receive a private voice lesson to a nurturing home for artists to practice their skill and gain confidence and experience in a safe and encouraging space.
Sarah and her husband are active members of Life Church in Mansfield where she is blessed to serve fourth through sixth graders each weekend. “It’s been such a joy to create a space where people feel valued and encouraged to pursue their dreams,” Sarah said. It’s no wonder Destiny Studio was voted Best Music Studio for 2024.
