Hannah is an excellent teacher. She’s picking tunes that really work on my weak areas! She’s also very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with.

Hannah was remarkable. I took concertina with her. She listened to my needs and taught me a fun tune on my level that stretched me just a little bit on our first lesson together. I look forward to our next one. I highly recommend her.

Excellent experience! Hannah adapted to exactly what worked for me and my level of piano from the get-go. She is very clear and offered good advice on chord variations, music to listen to for inspiration, and gave me great notes from the class. Looking forward to learning more!
