We have to start somewhere

Hello! I am Hannah Judas and I am a private voice and piano teacher primarily, but education and music has been a constant thread that has connected every phase of my life. Although I am currently private music teacher, I have had experiences in the public teaching sphere, the performance world, music direction, special education, mentoring, advocacy, parent relations, and customer service. I believe in the power of shared knowledge and information and my goal is to post about everything ranging from successful tactics that I have come up with or encountered, to thoughts about what happens in day to day teaching life, and even frustrations that I may have with certain systemic obstacles or expectations as a performer or a teacher. I want this information to be free and accessible in the hopes that teachers, students, parents can use this material for whatever they need, even if it is simply validation for feelings they may be having with this wonderfully complex profession.

I’m not going to lie, I have also started this blog to hold myself accountable. One of my professional goals this year is to engage in more professional development. My intention is to share take aways and give credit and visibility to these various forms of professional development that I am excited to dive into.

You can easily learn more about my professional life and experiences through the various tabs on my website, but the purpose of this blog is to document the more personal side of me, my career, and my learning. Don’t worry, this will not go into “secret diary” territory, but I am excited for the potential for people to be able to learn from my experiences as a teacher.
