Vocal Training
…without fear of making mistakes
1
Identify the student’s goals
2
Select music that inspires growth
3
Refine their style and execution
We each have unique, untapped abilities that are waiting to be discovered. We just need the right support to uncover them! By introducing singers to a variety of techniques, genres, and opportunities, I guide students to learn from a position of exploration, not perfection.
I draw from years of applied study, performance, and experience as a formal educator to adapt to the singer in front of me. Rather than using a one-size-fits all approach, I train, prepare, and invite singers to expand their capabilities while instilling confidence and building skills.
The learning environment is accessible, safe, and fun! Not only do the students participate in lessons, they will be introduced to professionally-equipped recording studios, software, and state of the art equipment. At the end of the school year, students will have an opportunity to participate in a showcase and experience other incredible opportunities to share their talents.

What Parents Say
“My daughter refuses to miss any of her weekly sessions with Rachel. I signed her up for voice lessons and her confidence and technique has blossomed beyond what I could have hoped for. With Rachel, W has learned about music theory, music history, harmony and received support in auditions and recitals nurturing a true love of music. Rachel has a wonderful ability to both meet W where she is and help to guide her out of her comfort zone - I’m grateful.”
-M.B.
“Working with Rachel as her voice teacher has been a wonderful experience for my child. From the very first lesson, Rachel's deep knowledge of vocal technique, combined with a clear understanding of my child's unique voice, made her feel supported and inspired. Rachel creates a space that is both challenging and nurturing, encouraging growth while celebrating individuality, and making it fun - because she is truly passionate about music, and so proud of her students! We're incredibly grateful to have found such a gifted and dedicated teacher.”
