Instruments: Piano Keyboard
People are learning piano happily is my biggest wish. I an not willing to make piano learning to be as a pressure for my students. Therefore, I always find the best way to deal with the difficult part of the piece and make it interesting. I like assign homework in different styles: writing, playing, singing, clapping, etc. I always find new ways to make piano playing amusing especially when I introduce new concepts. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
Everything we talk about carries over past the art of playing the trumpet. For example, learning how to be a team player, creativity, and the reward of daily practice teaches the student about success in many different contexts. I do expect my students to practice at least four to five times a week so that lessons are as productive as they can be. I do try to find out what inspires each student, be it types of music or anything in the outside world. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I was truly fortunate to have already been equipped with a solid foundation of skills and knowledge when this epiphany ultimately propelled me to a life dedicated to music. Thanks to my parents and teachers foresight, tenacity, and years of patient guidance, I was ready to continue, finally in my own determination, my musical quest in the United States. Having realized my dream, I am passionate about helping my students fulfill their desires and make music a source of their joy and pleasure. 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 Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Keyboard
I am very easy to work with and incorporate FUN into my lessons. My primary goal is to see my students enjoying music and liking what they are doing. This will get them to work more towards their goals as they grow through adolescence and into high school and college. Since each student is different I try to focus on reading their reactions to the material in order to to determine what they are understanding and what they are not. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I tend to start with warm-up exercises on a practice pad with a metronome, starting slow and speeding up. Then I get into the "work out" portion, where I push into faster tempos to test and improve my technique. After practice pad work, I'll move to the drumset. This is where my routine is more flexible. I generally pick one or two things to practice, which could be playing beats in a certain style, practicing different sticking patterns and fills, or playing along to either songs or backing tracks. Again, I make sure to use a metronome and practice these things at various tempos.
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 in Music Composition from the University of Kansas. Ever since I was in high school, I loved writing music for bands I was in. I had an understanding of basic theory concepts, but I wanted to greatly expand my knowledge of theory and compositional concepts so I could write better music in more diverse styles. This is why I chose to pursue a degree in composition, and I'm so glad I did! Because of my education, I am now able to write for many types of instruments and expand upon simple ideas in any way I see fit.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I would probably be a programmer. When I started college, I was actually dual majoring in Music Composition and Computer Science! I quickly became overwhelmed with my coursework and ultimately decided to pursue music alone, but I still find programming interesting. However, even if I did end up pursuing Computer Science instead, I would almost certainly still be playing music. It's too important to me to give up completely! In that case, I'd most likely go to jam sessions and try to be in a band so I could play shows on weekends.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love playing in almost any style, but some of my favorite stuff to play is in the neo-soul/hip-hop genre. Specifically, beat styles inspired by J Dilla, Erykah Badu, and D'Angelo. There's a certain swagger to the style that is an absolute joy to play on the drums. Ultimately though, I think everything I play is informed by jazz. I have studied jazz for years, and it has given me the ability to improvise and communicate musically in basically any style. Even when playing in the aforementioned neo-soul/hip-hop, my musical choices are informed by jazz improvisation.
