Bio:

Music lessons with Hannah Levy are joyful, accessible, and student-centered. Grounded in a lifetime of learning folk music by ear and bolstered by a degree in jazz vocal performance and over a decade of professional experience, Hannah aspires to be as much a lifelong student of the voice as an educator or performer.

Hannah has been singing since childhood and performing professionally in choirs, bands, and studios since 2013. Trained in jazz and marinated in funk, RnB and a range of traditional styles, she has a wide lens for approaching each unique musician that enters her studio. In studying and collaborating with singers across vast genres and geographies from Gospel in Kentucky to yodeling in Tbilisi to ad-libbing in Oakland, she has developed a keen ear and a deep belief in the connective power of song. She is a graduate of the California Jazz Conservatory (Jazz Vocal Performance, 2019) and appears on blues legend Fantastic Negrito’s Grammy Award winning 2018 record, “Please Don’t Be Dead,” as well as “White Jesus Black Problems” (2022) and “Grandfather Courage” (2023). Hannah was a longtime member of Kitka Women’s Vocal Ensemble, and led numerous choirs through the Kitka Institute. In addition to touring extensively with Northern Harmony (2013, 2016, 2020) she taught at Village Harmony’s Oregon Adult Residential camp in 2022. Hannah plays bass and sings in dream pop band Little Arcs and vocal trio, Stone Fruit Trio.

A true musical omnivore, Hannah is guided by curiosity about music as a way to deeper understand ourselves, each other, and our world. In teaching, Hannah aims to provide a safe and encouraging container within which the student’s own curiosity can lead the way to fruitful lifelong music-making. Referring to the principles of the LoVetri Method of Somatic VoiceworkTM, her teaching focuses on drawing out the unique voice of each individual through breath and body awareness, the balancing of the vocal registers, and genuine self-expression.
