Before I began taking voice lessons with Rachel, I had zero faith in my vocal ability, and I had extreme difficulty even speaking up in class at school. Rachel’s nurturing yet challenging and engaging method of teaching has helped me to free my voice and gain a solid technical foundation that helps me to sing out with passion. Every lesson is tailored to my specific needs as a singer, and every week I come away with highly enjoyable material to work with, specific techniques to focus on in my practice, and in addition, a boost of confidence. Rachel’s fantastic teaching and mentorship have helped me to not only become a better singer, but a more confident artist and performer overall. Her passion and enthusiasm for the art form is contagious and evident in every single moment spent in the studio. She not only motivates me to push myself with my work, but also creates a safe and encouraging atmosphere in which I feel comfortable to express myself. I treasure every moment spent exploring music with Rachel, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a voice teacher that will not only push students to do their very best, but will support and encourage them every step of the way.
