Instruments: Piano Drums Keyboard
I began my teaching journey at my local church and later expanded to formal private lessons at home. One of the key challenges I faced was teaching piano to children as young as five years old. However, seeing how quickly they could assimilate music at such an early age has been incredibly rewarding. I emphasize the importance of regular practice for all students, especially younger ones, as perseverance and patience are essential values in developing strong piano skills and becoming accomplished musicians.

Instruments: Piano
For beginning students who are children, I usually use the Alfred Music Piano Methods series, and include music theory and ear training as a part of the curriculum. Once students have grasped the fundamentals, I will introduce solo repertoire appropriate for receital performances to encourage and motivate their learning. For adult students, I love to spend time to figure out the students musical interests, and use the types of music they enjoy to guide my instruction so the lessons can be engaging and fun. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Synthesizer Euphonium Tuba Keyboard
My teaching style is all about building good foundation for students to build on and find the best way from them to be successful and fulfilled. I will give them achievable obstacles from them to over come and over time make them better players and people. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Double Bass Keyboard
Together we will create a custom lesson plan including things like scales, etudes, solos, excerpts, and covers. I like to direct students to play scales and etudes with drones that can be found online or from an app. and can offer many more helpful practice techniques. I can teach classical bass, piano, and cello, as well as pop/rock bass, piano, cello, or vocal performance. I also teach music composition, performing and arranging covers, and can coach any instrument for specific performances. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am a classically-trained pianist who loves sharing the joy of music with others. I graduated from Coastal Carolina University in 2017 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music, with a concentration on music education. During my studies, I developed a love of folk music from around the world, and have found that it is a great teaching tool. I am very passionate about music theory and ear training and love to teach others about them. 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 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: Guitar Clarinet Bass Guitar Recorder Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instrument for two reasons – high regard for my favorite musicians, and the ability to let my creative voice out in musical expression.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My original compositions and recordings, and being asked to perform at friends weddings and memorial services for the relatives.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I create my own lesson modules, and offer the Hal Leonard books as an option for the guitar students desiring to learn the five line staff. For clarinet and bass students I have several Kindle books I work from.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
For myself, my routine disciplines of repeating and polishing the more challenging and new material I am learning, as well as staying brushed up on my regular knowledge.
In my student lessons, occasionally a brief social catch-up of the week, then hearing the students perform their assigned lesson work, jumping in for assisting and correcting, tagging on to lesson topics to enhance the subject, tying into related new topics of instruction.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school band teacher, Mr. Lester, greatly inspired me... because he was knowledgeable, encouraging, engaging, and a great listener.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My Dad used to walk around strumming on a baritone ukulele and singing out his country songs, and always had guitars laying around the house.
My grandpa had an amazing woodgrain F-hole acoustic guitar in the basement that I was fascinated with, and he eventually gave it to me.
I still have it and played it at his memorial service????
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional instructor when I started teaching my own children. When I saw the fruit of their efforts and the joy they found in their abilities, coupled with the rewards I receive in teaching - I was sold. I love it.
When will I start to see results?
If the lessons are appropriately designed, an hour's worth of devoted practice should show growing familiarity with the lesson.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Do they walk around playing air guitar while listening to a song?
Do they gaze intently at musicians in a live band?
Do you hear them humming or singing their own musical creations?
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love many genres of music: Folk, Country, Blues, Spirituals, Rock, Metal.
My favorite style of music depends on my current mood, music is always a creative expression of the thoughts and feelings inside of the player.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Keep your eyes on the prize, practice with the intent of achieving your desired goal. In difficult sections of your practice, break it up into smaller pieces and practice each section repeatedly until comfortable, then move on to the next.
