Amanda Hahn - Involved in her beloved Orff chapter upon completing her first Levels course in 1998, Amanda Hahn is so excited to serve as the Orffion editor.  She is a new member of the music faculty at San Francisco Day School after having been an Orff specialist in the Cabrillo Unified School District, in the Half Moon Bay area, for 9 years.  Originally trained as a classical flutist, Amanda freelances a bit and performs in chamber music recitals.  She is devoted to her flute students in her studio and through the S.F. Community Music Center, and tries to stay at least one step ahead of the reed players in the woodwind classes she leads.
