She was an active member of the University of Pennsylvania Symphony Orchestra on the viola, in addition to holding the position of Orchestra Manager and Librarian, and still performs with them as an alumni. As a product of both the Philadelphia School District and the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s music programs, Savannah has worked in and around music education spaces in the Philadelphia area since 2019. During her time at Penn, she coordinated and participated in the Music and Social Change Program - a volunteer program that supports both general and instrumental music classes at public schools in the University City and West Philadelphia area. Since 2022, Savannah has worked as a Teaching Artist with Play on Philly, providing group violin lessons to students in West Philly during the school year, as well as during their Summer Program at Temple University. She enjoys working with students of all ages and her goal as a teacher is to aid students in exploring their own creativity, discovering joy in music-making, and creating something they can feel proud of. Her favorite parts of teaching are learning from her students, getting to know who they are, and watching them grow not only as musicians, but as people
