Joanna Storm was born in St. Petersburg, Fl in 1987, and started studying violin at the age of 4. In 2003, she started playing viola in addition to the violin. In 2004, she started learning the basics of cello, and has been studying the instrument ever since. Her teaching career also started in 2004, when she was hired to teach her first student. Ms. Storm was awarded the William E. Duckwitz Talent Scholarship in 2005, and studied violin with Routa Kroumovitch at Stetson University.

A composer as well as a violinist, Joanna has had several of her compositions performed at Stetson. This includes the harpsichord piece Strength in Pain, which was premiered by Josiah Armes in Elizabeth Hall in the spring of 2007. Another piece is Alles kann ich nicht Sagen, premiered in Elizabeth Hall in fall of 2008, by Wade Meyers.

Ms. Storm graduated from Stetson University with her Bachelor's of Music with Elective Studies in Psychology in July of 2010. She joined the Orange County Symphony as Associate Principle Second Violin in 2011, and remained in that position through 2017. In 2013, she began teaching elementary string classes in the Anaheim School District as part of the OCS-ACSD orchestra project, and continued through 2017. She played violin with the La Habra Symphony for their 2015-2016 season. Storm was a founding member of the Orchestra Collective of Orange County, and served as their Associate Principle Second Violin for their first season (2016-2017).

In 2017, Ms. Storm relocated to Dallas County, Texas, where she decided to shift her focus wholly to music education. She started the string program at Our Redeemer Lutheran School, Dallas in the fall of 2017, and did the same for the elementary grades of Faith Lutheran School, Plano the following year (2018). Ms. Storm has continued to maintain a rigorous studio of orchestral string students in north Dallas County. During the 2019-2020 school year, she worked one-on-one with Garland ISD violin and viola students through the VAPA supplementary program. In February 2021, she completed her Suzuki Book 1 teaching certification, and completed the Suzuki Book 2 training in November 2021.
