About Hannah Littlechild

Hello, my name’s Hannah! I am a musician with a Bachelor’s degree in Music from King’s College London and two Master’s degrees from Trinity Laban Conservatoire.While splitting my time between London and Suffolk, I maintain an active freelance performance career as well as a private teaching business. I play with orchestras including Orpheus Sinfonia, London Musical Theatre Orchestra, Brixton Chamber Orchestra and English Touring Opera. A passion of mine is Musical Theatre, and I have been on the International Tour of Phantom of the Opera for the last 2 years.I held a position at Lewisham Music Service as a violin tutor from 2023 to 2026, teaching a variety of group and individual lessons in primary schools. Over the years, I have also worked as a private nanny and tutor, so I have plenty of experience working with children. Through my private students, I have also taught many adult learners to great success.A first lesson with me is at a discounted rate, and involves quite a lot of talking (with the student and/or parent). I would like to know about my student and what they would like to get from the lessons, so that I can structure a course of action that suits the pupil perfectly. I aim to maintain an enthusiasm and motivation during the lessons, which will promote regular practice in between. With young pupils, I keep a close communication with parents to ensure the child not only practices, but enjoys their practice. With older and higher standard independent pupils, I will encourage a practice diary so that I can monitor their practice and encourage them along the way.I generally find that a combination of online and in-person lessons work well with my students, to support a versatile learning experience as well as to accommodate for busy schedules. I am also happy to work 100% online if desired!🙂

“Hannah is simply the best piano and violin teacher you could wish for. Initially we were having lessons for our son who was 4 when he started (now 6), Dylan, on Violin and Piano. Dylan loves Hannah, Piano, Music and his Violin. She has not just taught him Violin and Piano but also a deep understanding of music (he even writes songs with her). Seeing Dylan's rapid progress I had to have lessons on Piano too and my playing and music theory knowledge has dramatically improved. Now my wife has lessons on Violin also so Hannah is very busy in our household! We all love her lessons as she is so patient and somehow gets the best out of all of us.”

“Hannah is instructing my two children, 13 and 15, in piano in their Grade 4 performance studies. They always look forward to their lessons with her, and they enjoy her encouraging and balanced method of teaching. She equally emphasizes all aspects of study from playing to theory, and she is so positive that they always feel empowered to keep trying new techniques, learning new pieces, and growing as musicians. They have learned to have no fear of making mistakes and to enjoy the learning process. We are so happy to have found Hannah, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a piano (or violin) instructor!”

“Our 7 year old daughter was completely new to the violin when we found Hannah. She has been tutored by Hannah for almost 3 months now, and her progress is amazing.She has already learnt to play a number of simple tunes. What we found most encouraging was that our child has learnt to read music, and has demonstrated an understanding of music theory, all whilst adopting the proper hold for her bow. Hannah is friendly, but professional, she put our very shy daughter at ease, and has really motivated her to practise regularly with the implementation of innovative techniques, such as personal YouTube videos for our daughter to play along with between lessons. Hannah is a fantastic communicator, keeping us updated with our child’s progress, and letting us know weeks in advance if our regular sessions need to be rescheduled. A very reliable and trustworthy tutor that we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others.”
