Hannah Hickman
Musician | Educator | Arts Advocate
from small-town roots to international stages
Hi, I’m Hannah, a saxophonist who is passionate about musical excellence in performance and teaching. I excel in creating captivating performances by harnessing the emotional power of music and helping students of all ages do the same…
“Hickman handled everything extremely well, underplaying her hand by making these extended techniques seem easy to do while controlling the saxophone with the utmost care.”
“Hickman…played with such restraint and delicacy that the sax sounded like a flute”
Roger Boutry, composer
“I greatly appreciated Hannah’s musicality, technique, ease on stage, and excellent rapport with the string section. Bravo for this brilliant interpretation!”

Community Engagement
As part of my doctoral research, I’m developing inclusive music programs designed specifically for senior adult learners to promote lifelong learning and fulfillment through music-making. I’m currently exploring partnerships with retirement communities, university outreach programs, and community music organizations to bring these ideas to life. If you would like to collaborate or learn more about my research on senior adult music learners, Let’s chat!
