About Sabrina

106 sabrina[22]

 

I wear a lot of hats!  I wear different hats because I would get very disinterested with only one hat.  Several years ago Michael gave me a card.  It was actually a simple children’s puzzle ages 2-5.  There were 6 figures on it – a policeman, carpenter, chef, fire fighter, doctor, and programmer (computer).  On the back of the puzzle, he wrote, “This is to remind me of all the different hats you put on everyday.  Policeman  – You are the ‘Commander-in-Chief’ to run the children.  Carpenter – You are the house projects expert and fixer-upper.  Chef – You are our cook for all those delicious meals.  Fire fighter – You help me and the children get out of all of our jams.  Doctor – You help us heal all of our wounds – emotional and physical.  Programmer – You schedule us when we are unscheduled.”  Sounds like the job of a mother, doesn’t it?  I consider being a wife and mother of my 3 my greatest accomplishments.

 

EDUCATION:

Sabrina Hannon graduated from Mercer University in Macon, Georgia with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education with concentrations in piano/organ and choral conducting.  As partial fulfillment for her degree, she authored a music theory text-book for 7th and 8th grade music appreciation class which has been modified for her use in private teaching today.  Through the years, she has directed musicals and conducted many different choirs of various ages, including a men’s ensemble and handbell ensemble.  Church accompaniment, either on piano, organ or keyboard, has been a large part of her life since age 14.  Sabrina has accompanied various ensemble groups (instrumental and vocal).  Local performances include several productions with Southeast Alabama Community Theatre, Tri-State Community Orchestra, Music South Symphony, and two season performances of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Ballet with Dothan Chamber Orchestra, Hairspray with Wallace College, Dothan, AL, as well as John Rutter’s and Vivaldi’s Gloria.  Her passion for music has led to 30 years of experience in private piano instruction.

 

FAMILY:

While in college, Sabrina met and married her best friend, Michael.  Together they have enjoyed growing a loving family.  For many years she was mom, teacher, and taxi driver to their three children who were involved in every activity imaginable.  Family dimensions have changed as the little ones have grown into young adults.  Michael and Sabrina are enjoying the “grandparent” season of their lives with the addition of two new grand girls.

 

HOBBIES:

Sabrina loves woodworking – especially with power tools 🙂 ; basking in the sun at the beach; family snow skiing trips; RVing trips; BEE keeping; and having large extended family gatherings at her house.

In the “extra” margins of her time, Sabrina has been writing a book telling of her family’s daily life struggles and giving ENCOURAGEMENT  to all those who need a little.
