Hannah has had many years of experience teaching young children and working with learners with diverse needs, including neurodiverse students and students with learning disabilities. She believes student-led learning is the most effective way to work together.
Hannah provides both private and group lessons and has extensive experience with lab-style teaching, where several students are learning at their own pace at the same time.
A typical lesson with Hannah starts with asking the student about their day and setting intentions for the lesson with the student. Hannah believes that each student comes into the lesson with various mental loads from their life, so she works with them to individualize each week to their own capacity and goals.
After that, Hannah's lessons vary from student to student! A general guide would be working in the lesson book, then the theory book, and then supplemental music. Hannah uses goals and challenges to help her students be motivated to reach their achievements.
Hannah also provides preschool music classes that focus on an introduction to musical concepts through piano playing. Her preschool classes set up our youngest students to understand and recognize musical elements once they are ready for private lessons.
In her spare time, Hannah enjoys photography, graphic design, and leading worship at her church. She enjoys traveling, nature, and photographing every adventure with her wife, Sara.
