Instruments: Voice Music
My teaching style really depends on the student! Some want to learn for fun, others are studying for exams or college. As a result its really important for me to tailor my lessons towards each student and what they would like to work on. For some that could mean working on vocal technique, others working on music and repertoire. Im adept at adapting to each students individual talents and vocal needs and therefore its important that for that each student progresses at a pace that they are comfortable with. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I've been teaching piano and voice in the Northern Virginia area for over fifteen years. I have worked at studios such as Jordan Kitts Music and Music and Arts, and have done in-home lessons at students homes, which I still do now. My students range from beginners to intermediate level players, and my approach combines popular music with classical, jazz and traditional styles. Of course, in the beginning they learn to play simple songs that they are familiar with like Frere Jacques, Old McDonald, Jingle Bells and so on. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Recorder Piccolo Music Keyboard
In 2013, I graduated with a Bachelor's in Music from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Peck School of the Arts. I honed my craft of private teaching and also specializing in Balkan folk works, arranged for flute and secondary woodwinds. In 2019, I extended these skills over into Vocalism: singing, beatboxing, rapping, and spoken word. Ergo, my best work to date is an original composition called "LatinAmerica". There, I looped my original flute samples, singing, beatboxing, and minimal electronic effects onto my Boss Rolland RC 505 tabletop loop station. Read More

We also learn age-appropriate songs, of course. In lessons with young children, everything is play-based. I make learning experiences into games, and we move between activities quickly to accommodate the kids' attention spans and keep them engaged. I gradually shift my focus to technique and more advanced repertoire once the students reach middle school. For high school and adult voice students, we focus primarily on technique and learning repertoire. In an hour-long lesson, we might spend 15 or so minutes warming up and doing technique exercises, 10 or so minutes working on music theory, and the remainder of the lesson working on one or two songs or arias we've picked together.

I am a composer, pianist, guitarist, and singer. In 2016, I graduated from The Peabody Conservatory of The Johns Hopkins University with a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Music Composition. Prior to this, I obtained a Master of Music degree from Peabody in 2007, and a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Arkansas in 2004. I have had performances of my music in Baltimore, New York, Seattle, Cincinnati, and Fayetteville, AR. Read More

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).

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Hold yourself to practicing regularly, even if you have to schedule it like you schedule class or work. Putting yourself in the mindset at an expected time each day to practice can go a long way in developing focus. When in the practice room, keep realistic goals for yourself, even if they seem small, and practice intentionally. Going to practice with the intent of getting better at a technique or a part of a piece helps students measure their progress more effectively and feel more proud of the work they put in!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My elementary school music teacher and high school voice teacher helped foster my love of music, but the professional encouragement came from a college voice teacher and now dear friend and mentor. I was singing for the joy of taking lessons and being in choir, but this teacher believed in me on a deeper level and encouraged me to a declare a major. It turned out to be the best decision I've ever made! I believe encouraging students is more important than some think, and taking every chance available to inspire a student through encouragement and positive reinforcement is very important to me.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My most recent vocal coach told me after a setback, "Keep trying, and soon you will strike gold." Soon after that, I was cast in Dickinson College's production of Next to Normal as Natalie, and it was the most profound performing experience I've ever had! Putting such an intense and important story on stage was incredibly challenging, both from a performance and personal standpoint, but it was incredibly rewarding. In addition, I made my opera debut in Florence, Italy, where opera was born! Finally, my most recent recital was a program of all women composers, which I was proud to choose and highlight stories that are not always often told.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would probably be an elementary school teacher! I love working with kids, which intensified in my four years as a camp counselor through high school and college. I love kids' imaginations and helping them to bring out their creativity, especially in subjects they otherwise find boring or difficult. Seeing the light bulb go off is a great feeling! If I wasn't teaching music, I think I would be finding teaching positions in elementary schools in the US, or potentially serving in the Peace Corps overseas.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love singing classical music of any kind, but especially contemporary classical pieces. Sometimes they are a little jarring to listen to, or even confusing, but that's what I love about it! Bringing out a new interpretation can be so rewarding, and I think it's fun to work on learning seemingly hard melodies and mastering the difficult harmonies against them. I think there's a beauty in some of the more dissonant contemporary pieces that are so unfamiliar compared to the great works of composers like Mozart, and exploring them is a wonderful challenge!
