Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Bass Guitar Organ Music Keyboard
Recently I was hired as piano instructor for Quartertonez Music, in Washington DC. Also, I have had experience teaching and studying music education under my high school mentor, renowned music teacher Tim Savage; I was his student-teacher for a semester course at St. Lawrence University. Additionally, throughout my experience as his music student, his teaching approach has infused music education and facilitation lessons within the musical instruction itself. My past teaching experience also includes being a Drill Instructor for the Italian Department at Vassar College for two years during my time as an undergrad (I not only "ran drills" for students who had already started learning the material, but also had to compensate in a variety of ways for the unsuccessful, dysfunctional, or half-hearted engagement that is typical in a foreign language class).

For those who are beginning on their horns, I will be using the Essential Elements book. Within this books starts off with the basic whole notes and half notes than moves to quarter notes. Every other page adds a new note to their repertoire. For those who have been on their horns, I will be using the 2nd/3rd Essential Elements book. Those who have no trouble with those books, I will be introducing them to solo works and adding some theory in there for they can understand the basics of music and what comes with it. 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
My teaching experience dated back to my graduate-school days, when I began teaching private lessons to college-age students more than 20 years ago. I have been teaching since then to students from 3-year-old beginners to 75-year-old retirees. I founded my home studio, Joyful Keys Studio, in Gaithersburg, 13 years ago, and have been teaching consistently and passionately. Encouraging students to practice regularly and guiding students to find their musical inclinations and particular musical voices are my main teaching fortes. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For all of my students, both children and adults, I incorporate theory, technique, ear training, and musicality into the lessons. It's very important to me that all aspects of music be learned in an ongoing and cohesive way. I firmly believe that a strong understanding of these different elements will inform every other aspect, and make for a more grounded and satisfied student. For adults, lesson plans vary quite a bit, depending on the level of the adult and their interests. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Recorder
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My parents tell me that I began to be interested in the violin at age two. I have no recollection of this, but after years of asking to play the violin, I began my violin lessons at age seven. My love of the instrument is still there now and is stronger than it was when I was a child. Growing up, I was really small for my age and very uncoordinated when it came to dance and sports. The violin was perfect for someone of small stature, as they make them in smaller sizes for children.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I would say that the musical accomplishment I am most proud of is just being able to enstill the joy of music into my students. My goal for them is to truly enjoy their instrument and most do! Besides that, I am proud that I have successful achieved a bachelors and masters degree in music. Some classes, like conducting class, pushed me out of my comfort zone, but made me a better musician in the process. I am also proud of the ensemble groups that I have played with for weddings. It is such a joy to make beautiful music for one’s special day.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Because I specialize in young beginner students, not many have one awards. That being said, my older students have been selected for All-District orchestra in PA, York Youth Symphony Orchestra, York Junior Symphony Orchestra, All-County Orchestra in Harford County, PA, Harford Youth Orchestra, and Harford String Orchestra. My students have been selected for admission in the Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter School and also have been awarded scholarships to attend music camps. My students have received high ratings in county and state solo and ensemble festivals in Maryland.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think everything about the violin is difficult. Probably the one thing that is the hardest is intonation, also known as playing in tune. Since the violin does not have frets like a guitar, it can be challenging to figure out where to put your fingers. Beginner students frequently use tapes on their stringed instruments in order to grasp the finger placement. Intermediate and advanced students must use their ears instead of their eyes for finger placement. To do that, your ears must be keen and then you have to have the muscle memory as well for exact finger placement.
