About Hannah
Director and Music Coach:
Piano, Guitar, Ukulele, Bass and Voice
I'm passionate about sharing the joy of music through piano and other musical instrument education. With over 5 years of experience as a dedicated piano and music teacher, I've had the privilege of guiding students of all ages and skill levels on their musical journey.
Whether you're a beginner looking to start your musical adventure or an experienced pianist aiming to refine your skills, I'm here to help you achieve your goals.
​
I am comfortable and experienced working with neurodiverse children and teens with ADHD, autism, and down's syndrome.
​
I specialize in early music education and have taken on students as young as 3 years old in my pre-reading curriculum for piano.
About Justin
Music Coach:
Piano, Guitar, and Composition
I’ve played the piano for 19 years and recently graduated from the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, where I earned a Master of Music in Composition. I’ve studied and performed a wide variety of genres, including jazz, rock, classical, and experimental music. In addition to teaching, I work as a composer for visual media, creating original music for films, commercials, and video games.

I specialize in working with advanced students and adult beginners.
