Hello! My name is Rae. I specialize in helping my students their voices in the most healthy and effective way. No matter if you are a brand new singer, or have been singing for years, I will pay special attention to your unique voice. Every person's vocal production is different, but we all have something truly worth while to bring forth and give to others.
I have a bachelor's degree in classical singing, and have years of background in Musical theater and worship music.
I have over 6 years of teaching experience giving private lessons and nearly 5 years of teaching Performing Arts at a private school. I have taught all ages, from preschool to adult. I understand how the voice works from Vocal Pedagogy class in college and working with countless students of all ages. The voice is an inherent instinct that I have always been drawn to, but of course it is also my area of deep study.
What genre are you interested in singing? All genres require using your voice in a healthy way. Forming

I have been teaching this subject for over 16 years. There is no specific curriculum as each student will come to lessons with their own unique skills, needs, and goals. Lessons are tailored to those specifics. Opera voice is for experienced singers. The ability to reading music is mandatory as is access to a piano or keyboard for practicing. Concerning repertoire, it will be selected based on the student's learning needs but also with their input. The main emphasis on performance lessons, however, will be technique and reading. Students should come to the first lesson prepared to discuss their background & goals and the plan of their course of study.

Francesca's focus at CSULA was in classical voice. Having studied with voice with Donald Brinegar, Dr. Susan Kane and Dr. Carol Cleary Francesca has a strong background in Bel Canto technique and classical repertoire.

I am now on my second year of graduate studies at Shenandoah University for Music Performance with a concentration in voice. Before going to graduate school I took a year off and taught privately at a music school. Within a few weeks my students improved a few of them even performed in a recital. One student also performed in a local children's production of Legally Blonde. Students who study with me will learn the basics and proper technique to sing, will sing appropriate repertoire and I will prepare the student if he or she would like to make a career in singing.
