Sabrina Hanrahan

My name is Sabrina Hanrahan, and I am the Director, Head Piano Teacher, and Program Creator at Hanrahan Music. I am a confident and passionate music teacher with a strong track record of helping students not only learn their instrument, but truly enjoy playing music.

​

I hold a Bachelor of Music (BaMus) from South East Technological University (SETU), known as WIT at the time. During the challenges of the COVID period—while adapting my music lessons to online learning—I re-sat my Grade 8 Piano and Grade 8 Classical Flute, achieving Distinctions in both. This experience strengthened my belief in adaptability, lifelong learning, and leading by example as a professional music educator.

​

As a teacher, my focus is on ensuring that every student develops their instrument as a skill for life—something they can return to for enjoyment at any stage. I firmly believe that music education should be accessible, engaging, and rewarding for all learners. I work to create a clear learning pathway for each student, moving at a pace that builds confidence while maintaining steady progress.

​

I am continually developing creative teaching approaches, including a growing repertoire of educational music games designed to help students understand music theory and core musical concepts in a fun and practical way. My piano lessons and music classes are structured, supportive, and engaging, with a strong emphasis on musical understanding—not just playing the notes.

​

Outside the music room, there’s one slightly ironic fact about me: despite my love of all things artistic, I am completely terrified of butterflies and moths and am entirely convinced they will attack me if given the chance!
