Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
Building rapport is vital in a student-teacher relationship. I encourage the student to make personal goals of progress in addition to the goals I have set for them. I give the student constructive feedback on progress and acknowledge accomplishments. I try keeping an inspirational and open-ended environment for exploration, for music making is fun! I love contributing to the education and growth of fellow musicians. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I start all of my beginning students in John Thompson Book One as it provides a great base to build on. After that lessons become very personalized to the student's learning styles as well as their individual goals. Adult beginners I supplement with Faber. I aim to get all of my students playing "real" music very quickly without sacrificing solid technique and fundamentals. I tend to spend half of a lesson on drills and half working on songs. Read More

I have performed with the Mid America productions concert series in Carnegie Hall, New York. Read More

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: Guitar Ukulele Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The most challenging things I have had to master have mostly been classical guitar related. Challenges have included playing the melody, inner voices and a baseline while utilizing both the right and left hand effectively, and trying to keep up with dynamics, memory of the piece and technique. Another challenge I faced in my earlier years as a musician was learning to play guitar and sing at the same time.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love to play folk music with fingerstyle guitar accompaniment. I love folk music because it is humble, soulful and it tells many stories.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am very proud of the original music I have released, any recordings or projects that I have had the honor to be a part of, and I am very proud of my progress as a guitarist.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first music teacher in grade school inspired me to further my passion in music. I saw how passionate he was about teaching and playing music, and how it basically was his whole life. At a very young age, I knew that I wanted that for my life as well.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When it comes to voice, I always had a natural talent for it. I have always loved to sing, and it is a huge part of my self expression. I learned guitar to be able to accompany my singing without needing anyone else to do it for me. I have always been Miss Independent that way. Later on, I began studying classical guitar to better my technique and skill, and that too became a very important part of my life, because it taught me structure and discipline.
When will I start to see results?
Results come with practice. If the student practices at least 30 minutes to 1 hour consistently every day, they should be able to see results in their progress within the first month.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child has a strong interest in music, and you see that they have come to a point where they can remain attentive for at least 30 minutes, then they are ready for a lesson.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My strongest advice is to set a realistic goal for yourself every day, and keep a practice journal. In this journal, you can log the time in which you start your practice, how long it takes you to practice each exercise or piece, and any notes about your progress and what you wish to improve on. Also, if you are practice for more than one hour, remember to take breaks, as to not burn yourself out.
