ABOUT HANNAH CHRISTIANSON

Hi! I'm Hannah Christianson. I am an award winning songwriter, performer, and music lesson teacher. I graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2013, with a dual degree in Music Therapy and Songwriting. Since then, I have toured in the East Coast and Midwest United States, as well as Ireland and Scotland, and have received numerous songwriting awards, including Winner of the Great American Song Contest in the Pop Category, Finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, and Finalist in the Great American Song Contest in the Adult Contemporary Category. I have taught songwriting workshops at MIT, South Shore Conservatory, in Kenya, and in Ireland. I've worked as a music therapy intern at Boston Children's Hospital, where I learned how to work with people from many different cultural backgrounds as well as with children who have special needs. I've also self-released two albums, collaborated in many different musical groups, and have licensed my music to several licensing companies. Throughout all of my experiences in my performance and artist career, I have always been a teacher of music. Most recently, I have been teaching songwriting to students all over the world, as well as private lesson students in my own home. I love being able to share the joy and love that I have for music with others, and to teach not only the musical skills, but also the appreciation for how music can bring more beauty, joy, and expression into one's life.

I don't tend to write many reviews, but this one I can't pass up! Sometimes Hannah is just freaking genius! Without the lengthy explanations, Hannah had an uncanny sense of EXACTLY what I needed to get past a block-type issue. Despite a long string of many lessons, she still amazes me sometimes by pulling out something new … something that is exactly what I needed. This time it was cathartic! I can't thank her enough! That's the kind of nurturing soul she is.
