Teaching Experience

Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of working with singers at the professional, pre-professional, and avocational levels, helping them develop their skills and confidence across a variety of musical styles. My teaching experience spans community music schools, colleges, and private studios, giving me the opportunity to work with diverse learners in many different settings.

While at the Cincinnati School of Music, I taught piano lessons in addition to voice, working with over 100 students in just two years. At the collegiate level, I have held faculty positions at The University of Toledo and Muskingum University in New Concord, Ohio, where I worked with both undergraduate and graduate voice majors and minors. I also served as a graduate assistant at The Ohio State University, teaching primarily musical theatre minors.

Beyond one-on-one instruction, I have enjoyed serving as a music director for several community theatre productions and as a soprano section leader for multiple church choirs.

What Student’s Are Saying

  • "My weekly lessons with Dr. Hanhold are the highlight of my week! It only takes a few conversations with her to realize that she is truly an expert in her field. She has the expertise to help her students work on any genre or technique that motivates or inspires them. As a student who primarily had a background in contemporary and musical theatre singing, I personally have really enjoyed learning and gaining confidence in my ability to sing more classical pieces with proper classical technique. Dr. Hanhold has also helped me fill my audition/repertoire book full of songs that show diversity in genre, language, and technical skill. Thanks to my time with her, I now walk into auditions feeling prepared and confident. One of the most valuable things I've learned is how to recognize, describe, and repeat the sensations I feel while singing - a skill that's made my practice and performance more consistent. I am, and always will be, a better and healthier singer thanks to my last year and a half working with Dr. Hanhold!

  • "Dr. Hanhold is one of the most compassionate teachers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Her unwavering support begins when you enter the classroom and continues long after the lesson has concluded. Her emphasis on cross-training classical voices into musical theatre improved my overall flexibility and opened the door for singing in a variety of genres. Her background in vocal health instilled a passion for both technically accurate and healthy singing. I felt that my chosen repertoire was engaging, yet challenging, and was refined in a space where I was allowed to make mistakes, try new techniques, and grow as a singer. My voice would not be the same without her!"

    Sara P., Senior BM Voice Performance Major, University of Toledo

  • "My daughter's singing has grown by leaps and bounds in the year she’s been working with Alex. Her confidence has soared as she’s learned how to harness her strengths as a young vocalist. Alex provided her with targeted exercises, warm-ups, and techniques she could apply directly to the pieces she was preparing. The audition prep was especially invaluable, helping her walk into each audition feeling prepared and self-assured. Finally as a parent, I can also say that Alex is communicative, professional, and a overall a positive, creative influence on my child."

    Lindsay K., Student Parent, Toledo, OH

  • I have been working with Dr. Hanhold for over a year and she was able to completely transform the way I approach my voice. Prior to lessons, I had minimal vocal experience, but her teaching methods made me feel comfortable and confident with my singing abilities. Her cross-training pushed me to expand singing to bridge multiple styles. She challenges me at each lesson and is encouraging and supportive both inside and outside the lesson. Every goal I have brought to Dr. Hanhold, I have been able to achieve thanks to her guidance.
