 Hello!  My name is Hannah and I love music. Listening to it and playing it are both so much fun! Although I really enjoy music, I also enjoy learning about the world around me. That is why I am studying mechanical engineering at UAF. Also, I like to spend time exploring the outdoors with my family and friends. While I write this blog, I am looking forward to discovering the musical world more. Below is a picture of Denali from one of my adventures with my family. One of my favorite parts about music is being able to play it myself. When I was in eighth grade, I began learning to play the piano, and I have enjoyed improving my skills since then. I also like listening to music. In addition to the music I listen to every day, the two concerts I have attended were both wonderful. While my favorite artist or song changes often, below is an example of the type of music I listen to most. For another example of music I listen to, please click here.  Enjoy!
