I am a composer, pianist, guitarist, and singer. In 2016, I graduated from The Peabody Conservatory of The Johns Hopkins University with a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Music Composition. Prior to this, I obtained a Master of Music degree from Peabody in 2007, and a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Arkansas in 2004. I have had performances of my music in Baltimore, New York, Seattle, Cincinnati, and Fayetteville, AR. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Djembe
My approach to teaching is based on a large amount of communication between the students, the parents, and I. I love to know what my students are thinking in order to enhance what they are looking for in musicianship. I believe that musicians should be allowed to play and learn freely, however, the foundation given by learning jazz theory, gives any musicianship a bigger dynamic of playing for whatever genre they specifically like to play.

Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching in my own home and in student's homes for 9 years. I excel in teaching my students to be proficient sight readers because I want them to gain the ability to sit down with any piece of music and play it. I believe my job as a teacher has been fulfilled if my students reach a point where they no longer require my help. I also want my students to reap the benefits of music that go beyond performance at the keyboard, such as confidence, enhanced motor skills, challenging mental stimulation, a desire to learn, and emotional development.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
For my young beginning piano students, I apply the Piano Adventures Method by Nancy and Randall Faber. For my older beginning piano students (13/14 and up), I apply the Alfred Adult Piano Method to ensure the material meets the student at his/her academic level. As for all woodwind students, I apply the Reubank Methody (Beginning, Intermediate, Advance), alongside Hal Leonard's Essential Elements for students currently in a school band. Once each student has reached a satisfactory level of performance, solo repertoire is then introduced. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
Teaching has always been a passion for me. I began teaching piano lessons when I was in 3rd grade and I start started teaching violin lessons after college. I earned my Bachelors degree in music education from Silla university in South Korea, but her love for music started as early as kindergarten on the piano. While in school, I won various piano competitions in South Korea and I performed for a wide range of audiences. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Banjo Mandolin
I began my training in piano and guitar when I was 7 years old. My interest in music has led me to continue to learn other instruments. I have 7 children and have taught and continue to teach them various instruments in my home. This has allowed us to perform musically as a family in various parts of the country. My oldest daughter has gone on to acquire a degree in vocal performance. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Practice Makes Progress! My studio of aspiring musicians of all ages strives for the motto I came up with as an alternative to the popular, yet technically impossible and anxiety-inducing Practice Makes Perfect. I am a dedicated professional singer in the DC Metro area, and I operate Hannahs Music Studio as a way to share what I have learned through my many years of music studies and performances. I have had the opportunity of performing multiple operatic roles in Italy and San Marino, as well as during my Bachelor of Arts in Music degree for Vocal Performance at Luther College (2017), and during my Master of Music degree in Vocal Performance and Opera at the University of North Texas (2019).

Instruments: Piano Violin
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I can say I was born playing piano since my mother did. I stopped lessons when I was 4 but always kept up piano. Fell in love with the violin in 6th grade and then in 1989 took up the harp. I always wanted to play harp so purchased one and started to play. It was so different being the student and not the teacher
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My grandmother was a pianist s actually beat Rubenstein in a pushover competition for which I have her medal. My mother was a brilliant pianist and organist. My great uncle Victor Borge whose real name is Borge Rosenbaum was also an inspiration. I also had a group of students in his honor call Magical Music and we would choreograph magic tricks in our music. This is how I won one of the awards from the White House.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I actually took a break from music when I moved from Boston to Maryland and got another degree and a masters degree in psychology. I really wanted to ha a child though but was unable to. After 5 years we did adopt our daughter and my husband asked me if now I felt like I had everything. There was still an emptiness in me and I realized music was not a part of my life so I studied violin with two different teachers and worked hard until I achieved my dream of playing professionally in an orchestra.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love classical music as well as folk and Disney music. I like music that brings peace and serenity to the heart like Yano or Yuruma. I like music that makes you paint music in your mind
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I can’t think of anything else I would rather be. I was a swimmer so maybe an Olympic swimmer or archeologist because I love exploring and finding new and different things
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
The Brahms Violin Concerto with a full orchestra because this is the piece that made me fall in love with music. On piano it would be Rachmaninov piano Concerto .#4
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor of Music degree in music education with a concentrate on both violin and piano. I chose this one so I could have greater opportunities like teaching music in a school, teaching privately or performing all of which I have fone
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use all kinds of music. The Suzuki meth and various parts of it, Bastien, Faber and Faber as well as Alfred. I use my own music and others as well. For older violin students I use Arubans violin Students I use Rubank Elementary Methods of violin, whistlers guide to the various position,Sevcik book of violin techniques and Wolfhardt.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I do not know if you mean for myself or my students. For my students I let them pick out a warm up piece, then we go on to what the have been working on and then we start working on new mydic
