Hannah Holbrook
About
Hello! I'm Hannah — a pianist, vocalist, and composer who spent 17 years touring the world with the band SHEL. We signed with a major label, performed at iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheater, and played festivals including Lyons Folk Festival and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. My compositions have been featured in film, TV, and on Colorado Public Radio.
I studied piano performance at Colorado State University, and over 7 years of teaching I've worked with students of all ages and skill levels — beginners to advanced, kids to adults. Whether you want to learn classical technique, explore jazz and pop, or write your own songs, I'll build lessons around the music that actually excites you. It's never too late to start.
Teaching Style
My teaching approach combines classical technique and theory to build strength and dexterity while focusing on the music that resonates with each student. Whether you're into jazz, pop, folk, classical, or any other genre, we'll dig into your favorite music while building real technique from the ground up. I also specialize in songwriting and composition — so if you have a song idea, a melody in your head, or want to start writing from scratch, we can develop that too. All ages and all levels welcome, including complete beginners.
