Welcome Gerald Savage, advisor to our Mukti Music Girls Choir

Welcome Gerald Savage to Mukti Music!

We are beyond thrilled to welcome Gerald Savage to Mukti Music as an advisor and consultant for the Mukti Music Girls Choir. With his vast expertise in choral direction and leadership, we are confident that his guidance will take our choir to new heights, nurturing the voices and creativity of young singers in powerful ways.

Gerald brings decades of experience, having served as the esteemed director of the Pittsburgh Youth Choir, where he cultivated musical excellence, encouraged growth, and fostered a deep love for choral music in generations of young singers. His wealth of knowledge in choral pedagogy, vocal technique, and organizational management will be invaluable as we shape the future of Mukti Music's choir program.

Known for his ability to balance discipline with artistic freedom, Gerald is dedicated to creating a choir environment that is both fun and rigorous—where each singer feels heard and empowered. His approach aligns with our vision for the Mukti Music Girls Choir: a space for young women to find their voice, explore the world of music, and grow into confident, creative individuals.

Gerald’s work goes beyond teaching; he is a mentor and a guide, helping students discover not only their vocal potential but also their capacity for self-expression. We are incredibly fortunate to have him on board and look forward to the journey ahead under his direction.

Please join us in welcoming Gerald to Mukti Music! We can’t wait to see the beautiful transformation he will bring to our choir.
