Minneapolis, MN Classical Voice Lessons

Our voice is the most personal expression we can share. I feel very passionate about helping others create a personalized 'toolkit' of exercises designed to promote proper posture, ease of breath support and help guide the vocal explorer in developing their most perfect resonance and pitch control. The end result is the ability to sing, speak, stand and move with relaxed authenticity by encouraging a calmly energized physical demeanor which increases confidence.

My foundation is bel canto technique; to expand range, create full tone, sing with ease & power, build breath support & learn to maintain vocal health.

I've taught voice for over 18 years, backed by a lifetime of performing & 12 years of private vocal studies. I also lived and worked in Los Angeles for 12 years.

I am committed to helping singers develop their authentic, unique voice.

You will learn classical technique by singing selections from classical composers.

Opera, art-song, lieder, and all classical technique is taught here. We can even work on cross-over techniques.

Hi! I'm Rachel! Teaching people how to sing with ease is my passion. I teach in Orange County, Los Angeles, and online.

In year 2008 I became the single youngest person to be accepted into the world renowned Speech Level Singing International teacher training and certification program. I took vocal master classes and was trained and certified as a vocal coach directly by Seth Riggs, the international authority on vocal instruction who trained artists like Michael Jackson, Josh Groban, Stevie Wonder and hundreds of other Grammy Award winning singers.

I work with all styles. My goal with my voice students is to teach them how to use their voice in a healthy and natural way while maintaining the sound that got them recognition, as well as help beginners find their style. With proper technique, singing becomes as easy as speaking.

Born in the Midwest, I spent seven graduate years in Paris performing, teaching, and researching. I have come to see music lessons as both a personal process of body awareness and harnessing mental energy, and as an interpersonal process of exploring the dynamic between student and teacher. I currently sing with the Minnesota Chorale and the Bach Society of Minnesota.

It is my belief that classical music is the fastest and most thorough way to learn breath technique, tone, control, range, and more. This genre is a standard in my rehearsal based on all that can be learned from it.

I have enjoyed a 25+year career as a professional singer, choral conductor, vocal coach, and songwriter. Classically-trained in the Bel Canto style of singing, I had the unique opportunity to travel the country with artisan parents, performing as a gypsy singer and dancer since I was 14 years old. I graduated from the MN Center for Arts Education, where I more fully developed my songwriting abilities. I have performed with countless musicians and performance companies, crossing all genres, from rock to jazz to world music and beyond. This diverse upbringing has become the foundation from which I teach voice today.

My philosophy is to highlight the individual characteristics of each singer's voice - as unique as their own fingerprints. I build vast repertoires of music for each student, encouraging their personal exploration of musical genres, languages, vocal technique and styles. I also help the budding singer to understand basic concepts in music theory, music history, ...
