Hello!

I'm Hannah Moorhead (She/Her), an accomplished actor, musician, and teaching artist originally from St. Louis, MO, now based in New York. I hold a BFA in Musical Theatre from Webster Conservatory, and through the medium of theatre, I have discovered a profound way to celebrate the impact individuals have made on both my life and the world. I firmly believe that storytelling has the power to transform lives and shape our collective consciousness, and I am committed to being an integral part of that change. In addition to my work on stage, I am also a passionate musician and dedicated educator. Whether performing in musical ensembles or teaching the next generation of artists, I constantly find avenues to nurture my creativity, broaden my horizons, and embrace the boundless beauty of the world we inhabit.

 

Musical Journey and Teaching Philosophy

My musical journey started at eight with piano, earning recognition from the National Federation of Music for piano performance, music theory, and sight-reading skills. At the age of nine, I joined my school's orchestra program and embarked on an exciting violinist journey. This musical pursuit led me to perform at renowned venues like Carnegie Hall with the Kirkwood High School Orchestra. In college, I composed, arranged, and played music for productions at Webster. It was during these experiences I discovered a profound joy in teaching private lessons (voice, dance, and violin), both in my own studio and at the Gateway Center for Performing Arts and DaySpring Arts and Education. I hope that each note tells a story, and every lesson unlocks endless possibilities.

In my free time

When I'm not performing, I'm usually checking out new coffee and bagel spots, visiting local art fairs, or hunting for finds at thrift shops. I also love to travel and have explored places like Rapa Nui (Easter Island), Iceland, and Western Europe. Next up: Rotterdam, Netherlands!
