Ashlyn Graham is an orchestra teacher who is new to Penn this year. On top of this school year being her first teaching at Penn, this is her first year of teaching overall.

“I was very impressed with the school’s academic achievements and liked the teachers I got to meet and I was excited when heard about the program here,” Graham said.

She chose teaching as a career path due to her love for music. She felt like teaching music was the best for her.

“I want to grow my teaching abilities and skills and help as many students as I can find their passion – whether it’s in music or something else,” she said.

Graham is excited to continue her career at Penn, and fits in greatly with the Penn Orchestra community.
