Instruments: Piano Trumpet Keyboard
If the student is interested in jazz, I typically use Jim Snidero's "Jazz Conception" books as a great starting place to learn about interpreting jazz music as well as a basis for starting to talk about improvisation. Continuing from there, jazz students will start to learn jazz "standards" from the Great American Songbook and discussions of improvisation will go deeper. With all students, it is important to discover what they are interested in and encourage that interest. Read More

The first time that we meet, I'll sit down with a new student and ask them about their musical experience and goals so that we can tailor the lessons to their individual needs and so that I can adjust my expectations accordingly. I am very flexible with my approach! During subsequent lessons, I will introduce the student to some basic concepts for their choice instrument(I teach piano, voice, or guitar), bel canto, Marchesi method(s), etc. Read More

It is important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager tolearn more. By trying to find out what imspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
While living in Denton, Texas, I started teaching private voice and piano lessons near the end of my Master of Music studies in Vocal Performance in 2019. I was an independent contractor at three different music institutions at the time, and I taught lessons to over 30 students during the first year. Then, during the Covid pandemic, I moved to Northern Virginia and started my own private teaching business, Hannahs Music Studio, in Fall 2020. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice the hardest parts first, slowly. It's always tempting/easier to practice what we're comfortable with, but practicing what you already know, or can already do, does not allow you to grow and expand upon your abilities. In order to become comfortable with something, you have to allow yourself to be uncomfortable first. So practice the uncomfortable stuff, slowly, until it becomes comfortable. Then, move on to the next challenge, and watch yourself grow, develop, and get better!! This will also help grow your confidence as well, as you discover what you can handle and conquer.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This is always a fine line to walk, but usually it comes down to two main things, concentration and focus. Piano is an instrument that truly can be learned by anyone (as long as you know your alphabet up to G). However, a lot of the learning process, especially in the beginning, requires having an attention span, and the ability to focus on what you're learning. If a child has the ability to concentrate on what they're doing without becoming too distracted (even if for just 15 or 20 minutes), a LOT can be accomplished. It's always our job as the teacher, to try to be engaging and keep things interesting, but the student must be able to stay focused as well. If they can do this, and also seem interested in learning as well, certainly there is much potential for them to go far!!
When will I start to see results?
This can vary widely from student to student. It also depends how much time you're putting in between lessons. Students that do very little between lessons, and/or are not practicing regularly, will typically take longer than the ones that put in more time and are practicing more consistently (it's always better to put in a few minutes daily, than practicing once every few days). Also, because a lot of the beginning stuff is based on repetition and memorization, some students just pick up on that faster than others, while others may need more time. But a consistent daily practice routine is always the best approach.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
By far, the one I gravitate towards the most would be Jazz. The melodies and chord changes (for many Jazz standards) are beautiful, intricate, and complex. Listening to a Jazz solo, in my opinion, is often times an incredible thing to witness, as you're literally hearing a composition being created on the spot, while at the same time working within a very concrete and specific structure (which is what makes it sound good). And then, when playing together in group settings, you also have the added benefit of communication, as musicians will feed off each other's ideas. It is very much a communal effort and to experience it live is simply irreplaceable.
