Before working with Hannah, I was struggling with not knowing how to commit to a daily routine or what to focus on.  Due to my commitment to bringing up two kids, I had not picked up my instrument in 25 years, so was very rusty. Additionally, I made the decision to transition from classical viola to the fiddle to play traditional Irish music.

When I discovered Hannah on social media and subscribed to her Youtube channel, it was her attention to detail on her website and how she presented the structure of her lessons that immediately caught my attention.  I had nothing to lose by taking advantage of her free evaluation to see if we were a fit. 

I’m also learning how to use my muscle memory a lot more. I just turned 59 years old and have memorized 15 tunes so far! I was so surprised that I could do it by forcing myself to listen to the tunes repeatedly and throw the paper away!  

Knowing that I’ll soon need to play comfortably in front of others, Hannah introduced me to an app called Marco Polo which is fun and easy to use… and most importantly, keeps me engaged during the off lesson time.  She takes good notes and follows up with each MP recording, which helps me to stay on task with her ideas of improvement.
