Singing

Hi there! I’m Ms. Rachel!

I have a BM in Music Education from CSULA, and I’m halfway through a Masters in Commercial Music from CSULA as well. I’ve been teaching voice and beginning piano since January 2017. I also teach basics of music theory, and upon request, songwriting and music technology too! I sing and teach musical theater, commercial music (pop, rock, country, jazz, R&B & blues), classical singing, opera and more.  

I value getting to know you and what you want to learn. I’m gentle and patient. I’ve worked with many kinds of students from cautious 4 year olds to shy middle schoolers to ambitious high schoolers to adults who have different aspirations to seniors who always wanted to learn music, etc.. I’m happy to teach you about how music works and how music can work for you! 

If you have any questions, such as availability, please let me know! 
Have a wonderful day! :)

BM in Music Education

I taught voice lessons to students of all ages. I prepared students for Recitals and I taught the Young Voices group class in 2017.

Vocal Coach

I taught voice and beginning piano to students 4 and up. For voice, I taught healthy technique, warmups, music theory, rhythm, songs, basic piano skills for playing their own scales and warmups, and I prepared students for auditions and Showcases. I also brought in my own bells for mini Music Prodigies lessons, and I helped students with their original songs on occasion. For piano, the curriculum depended on the student.

Hi! I'm Ms. Rachel! 
I'm a voice teacher (I improve students' voices by focusing on techniques and vocal health) and vocal coach (I improve students' song performances). 

I’ve been building my experience in the performing arts world throughout my life. I was in musicals since I was 6 and I've been in advanced ensembles since high school.  

I have a Bachelor's in Music Education from CSULA where I was in multiple advanced ensembles, sang a solo in a musical, designed my own Senior Recital and starred in an Opera! I've sung as a professional caroler since 2016 and I've been teaching music since 2017. Between degrees, I worked in a YMCA KidZone, taught music and sang with an R&B/Funk band as well. I'm currently halfway through a Masters in Commercial Music (also from CSULA) where I've taken voice lessons with an accomplished pop singer and rehearsed & performed in the Commercial Music Ensemble. I’ve also learned the basics of music history, music technology, music business, etc.  

When it comes to lessons, I combine my experience with an individualistic approach. 
I've taught all ages, from 3 through seniors. However, I suggest waiting until children are at least 4 to start private lessons.  

Let me know if you have any questions! 

Have a great day! :) 

Rachel is fantastic. Great lesson, great teacher!

Ms. Rachel is amazing. Our daughter has worked with her for several years, working on voice, song composition, and reading music. Ms Rachel is professional, kind, knowledgeable and patient. Our daughter has grown in skill and confidence. We give our highest recommendation for Ms. Rachel as an instructor and as a great person!

Rachel is such a sweet gem ❤ her vocal techniques helped me alot to become a successful singer! I'd highly recommend!!

This is one way to learn about dotted rhythms (by adding)! I also personally made a packet called The Break Down Guide to Dotted Rhythms that I can share with you! :)
