It is a true joy to welcome Dr. Hannah Occeña to the podcast!
Hannah is Assistant Professor of Flute in the School of Music at the University of Northern Iowa and was recently awarded the UNI Outstanding Teaching Award. She teaches applied flute, team teaches woodwind techniques, and directs a flute ensemble of majors, non-majors, and community members. She also is the Principal Flutist of the Topeka Symphony Orchestra in Topeka, Kansas.
In this episode Hannah shares with us the many ways that she helps students discover “their voice as a musician and as a human being.” She provides examples of how she supports students figuring out what they need, learning how to ask for help, and managing their time so that they can reach their goals in music and in life.
Thank you Hannah for sharing your wisdom with us!
Gratitude:
A big thanks to the UNI John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center (UNI JPEC) and especially Patrick Luensmann, Associate Director of JPEC for letting us use their brand new podcasting studio for Teaching in 10! Thank you!
