I have been teaching voice for more than 15 years. I teach a classical technique which can be applied to any style of singing. I am on the faculty of two universities as a voice teacher, and also have private studios in three locations. I am primarily interested in helping serious students prepare for auditions, competitions, and conservatory admissions. Please see my website for more information about my work.

I teach breathing, posture, personal written vocalises (exercises) to assist you in your goals . Tone, range, all aspects covered. You are welcome to pick music you like and I will coach you to sing better. You also have opportunities to perform as I have optional group lessons/Masterclasses every 6-8 weeks for both adults as well as groups for teens and K-8. The voice is a wonderful instrument especially as no two voices sound alike. It is you personally. Everyone can sing, promise.

As a bass opera singer and professional voice over artist, I am dedicated to creating a healthy and beautiful sound with my own voice and the voices of my students. I will not come into our lessons saying there is a single way to sing. In fact, many genres require a great deal of varying vocal techniques and stylized voices. What I will do is help to lay a foundation in healthy singing so that you feel comfortable singing any genre. We will start by ensuring that your breath and vowel placement feels comfortable and from there move into repertoire of your choosing or some that I recommend based upon your interests. You will leave your tenure with me empowered to continue your passion and career for singing long after your lessons end. Music is meant to be shared. Together, we will help you to share the music and passion that you hold so dear.

Each student has a unique voice, I'll bring out the best of their natural talent with the proper, healthy vocal techniques through singing warm ups and breathing exercises. Check out examples on my YouTube channel, Rachel Handler.
