Teaching
Foundational Piano Lessons / Improvisation / Jazz / Songwriting
Since 2020, I have been teaching private piano lessons and working at a local music academy in Southeastern Michigan. I lead a student-tailored approach, offering a customized and hands-on learning experience for each student. As a graduate of the University of Michigan Jazz Program, I specialize in teaching a well-rounded approach to piano technique and theory, with a focus on improvisation, ear-training, chordal foundations and extended harmony. Lessons are balanced and fun; with a bit of structure and a bit of play. My goal as a teacher is to facilitate my students’ curiosity and sense of creativity within a safe and supportive environment. I often work closely with parents and guardians to reinforce at-home learning and create routine and structure for the student to continue their studies outside of the studio. I also strongly believe that you are not too old or too young: you can spark a passion to play piano at any age or stage. I have students ranging from five years to fifty in age. Whether you are looking to learn a pop song by ear, improve your sight-reading or want to compose your first song, I hope you will consider reaching out for a lesson!
“Hannah is very supportive and encouraging as a teacher. She truly believes in her student’s ability to succeed and her relaxed style makes learning to play music enjoyable.”
“Hannah is fun! She taught me fun tricks to learning note names and also picks out fun holiday music for me to learn.”
“My daughter enjoys studying with Hannah because she makes learning engaging and explains musical concepts in a way that’s easy to grasp.”
“Hannah Baiardi is a paragon of professionalism; a font of creativity; a source of positive energy and a maker of lovely music. Throughout my work with Hannah over the last year, I’ve found her to be extremely collaborative, open to feedback, emotionally intelligent, and impressively resilient. I would highly recommend Hannah for any project on which you have a spot for a key contributor!”
Ari Weinzweig, Co-Founding Partner of Zingerman’s Community of Businesses
