I love helping people to follow their curiosity, learn, and achieve their goals. I can give you the feedback you need and confidence you deserve while teaching you step by step how to read the intricate and beautiful language of sheet music.
With over 10 years of experience taking piano lessons myself, I began playing the piano at age seven and advanced to honors recitals Level 9 of Certificate of Merit through the Music Teachers' Association of California (MTAC). I have been teaching private piano lessons at home and online (recommend for students 7 and up) since 2016. I also have a California Teaching Credential in the Art.
I cater to your learning experience based on your preferences at your level. I combine theory, technique, practice, counting, vocabulary, and performance pieces. I can help you select repertoire that is suited to your level. I teach how to read sheet music from book series such as Alfred's Basic Piano Library and Faber's Piano Adventure. Students have the option to choose specific types of music to learn like Classical, Folk, Pop, Jazz, Sacred, Masterworks, Holiday, etc.
My students love the patience, kindness, respect, and honesty that I bring to each lesson. Demonstrating each piece, we often have fun singing along or playing duets. Although playing and making music is a fun experience, it also requires patience, discipline and self-awareness. Students need a piano or keyboard at home and are expected to practice a minimum of an hour a week at home.
Every student has the opportunity to participate in our 2 recitals each year in which they can share their performance pieces with the rest of my 20-30 students.

Ms Hannah is wonderful! My son really enjoys having her as a teacher. She's pushed him to try new pieces of classical music that are challenging, but ones he recognizes and enjoys. Her love for music and the arts shines through and her students pick up on it. Thank you, Ms Hannah!
