Savannah loves helping young musicians learn the violin and viola and reach their full musical potential. She specializes in combining the Suzuki Method with her own teaching approach, which focuses on finding each student’s unique learning style, such as kinesthetic, verbal, or visual. She also offers online lessons for those who wish to take lessons virtually. Read more about her teaching methods.
