Sometimes all it takes to really understand the material is a considerate instructor who knows how to teach at your pace. Having worked with students throughout Northern Virginia since 2000, I bring a depth of professional experience and knowledge to those who are eager to expand their minds, talents, and skills. I am passionate about musical education. It is my belief that music is a gift to be shared - not just between instructor and student but also between the student and their community. Read More

I am a passionate and motivated musician, artist, and educator. I believe God blessed me with the gifts I have in order to be a musical blessing to others and teach instrumental music. I have been a performer since middle school and have carried it into my professional career. I graduated from Coppin State University with a Bachelor of Science in Urban Arts and a minor in music. The Urban arts degree combines vaious art form with the individual focusing on his/her particular art form. Read More

As stated before I will be graduating from Norfolk state in May 2018. Even though this will be my first instructor position, I have been the head section leader for the past few years. Here I was able to help teach and grow the students in my sections. While doing this I taught them how to expand their horizons from reading music more difficult to playing more ranges on their horn.

Instruments: Piano
Greetings fellow students!! I am a dedicated piano instructor who enjoys nothing more than seeing students progress and get better. After graduating high school in 2002, I attended Muhlenberg College. While there, I studied Music Theory, and had the good fortune to play piano in the school's Jazz Improvisation Ensemble, led by renowned bassist and former Modern Jazz Quartet alum Charles Fambrough. Upon graduating in 2006, I studied under another great bassist in his own right, the late, great, Ashton Fletcher. 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
I started teaching since I was a college student, which's seven years ago. From that time, I have been consistently teaching students until now. The students I've taught were in different age and level. Due to the differences between students, I change my teaching methods a lot. The youngest kid I taught was in age four. I set some fun exercises to let her be interested in learning rhythm and notes in a natural way. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My mother and grandmother were concert pianists and Victor Borge a great uncle do music was always in my blood. I also chose the violin because I heard Isaac Stern with the Boston Symphony play the Brahms Violin Concerto when I was in sixth grade and I asked my parents why hearing it made me cry. I realized then there was beauty and feeling in music and it was something I knew I had to have and have been with ever since
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The most important thing was right after my father died I had a chance to perform a solo at Carnegie Hall and it brought such happiness to my mother. Anther time was when I received an award from President Clinton for keeping children off drugs through music. I am also so proud of my students snd what they went on to accomplish
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
On violin it would be smoothness snd not to fear higher positions. On the piano not to be overwhelmed by the number of keys. Some young ones feel scared because they have such little fingers
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had students win scholarships to private school and colleges. Three students were chosen to perform at Disney World for a backtrack of music being recorded for a musical. Several have performed at the White House and several around the world. I am proud of them all actually.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes. I had a teacher that was never mad even if I made a mistake and this was at the z conservatory level. Instead she would tell me to watch a particular finger or spend more time on a phrase but she was never angry.
When will I start to see results?
I ascertain that there is something positive at the first lesson. It might be as simple as how well the child sits at the piano or how nicely the child holds a bow. My lessons are all taught in a very positive way.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
It is not about the quantity of time you practice but the quality of time you do practice. A person that practiced two hours may not be practicing effectively while a person practicing only a half an hour might be practicing utilizing all corrections and style. Time does not mean quality.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If he/she has an awareness of the particular instrument and requests to play. It is not what the parent wants but what the child wants. This is something I discuss with a parent before the first lesson
