Hannah Iqbal

Hannah is a violinist/musician who has studied classically since the age of five. During her early 20s, she lived in Tokyo playing in orchestras; it was from there that she decided to pursue the challenging yet rewarding path of an independent musician. She continued in her studies, focusing on Persian classical and similar world styles. She currently works as a session violinist, composing string arrangements for world renowned artists such as the Grammy award winning producer Carmen Rizzo of Niyaz. She has been teaching for the past 6 years. Her students are of all ages, ranging from 5-15yrs of age to students taking up the violin in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. She loves teaching beginners, helping them to cultivate a love of music, self-discipline, and their own unique creative expression. She hopes that as a working musician, she can demonstrate to her students that creativity and music is theirs to discover; let classical music be the foundation in which you establish work ethic, technique, and theory but let yourself express beyond what I teach you; play for yourself and take risks.
