Narberth, PA Classical Voice Lessons

I am an active professional classical/opera singer with eight years of teaching experience. My students include a range of levels and ages who vary in musical aspirations and sing in many different styles, including opera, art song, jazz, blues, pop, and musical theater. My students have gone on to sing on Broadway, pursue music and theater degrees, compete and win competitions. Many of my students also study piano or guitar in order to increase musicianship and independence in study. Students are given every opportunity to become well-rounded, performing musicians when studying with me. I am a friendly, open-minded, enthusiastic musician who loves teaching others!

Learn the basics of bel canto technique or improve upon your foundation through vocalizes, various technical exercises and building your repertoire. With this foundation, you can branch into any style of classical singing or crossover into musical theatre, pop, rock, or country. Whatever your singing goals are, together we can accomplish them and give you the tools to succeed!

I have been teaching for the past 7 years and am passionate about healthy, comfortable singing. My lessons are structured to include vocal warmups/technique exercises, sight singing to strengthen musicianship and then the working of repertoire. I will have suggestions for repertoire, but also am happy to work on anything the student may be interested in.

As a professional opera singer and recitalist, Rachel uses her first-hand experience in the business to guide her students and to teach them healthy vocal technique. Her students find her to be energetic, warm, and one of her biggest goals is to make her students feel more empowered when they leave than when they arrived. Music is a transformative art form and she hopes to enrich her student’s lives.

Learning proper singing technique is essential for the health of singers of all ages and genres. And YES! Everyone can sing! Rachel personalizes each lesson to her students' needs and provides a safe and fun atmosphere that is essential to creative learning. Musicianship, better intonation, breath control, support, tone quality, freedom of sound, and a love of music are all topics covered in voice lessons.

I have training in Classical Voice at all levels and begin teaching proper technique and songs in English, German and Italian. I love to see the improvement in my students and help them build confidence in themselves!

I studied music and piano from an early age. I have performed in many choruses and recitals. I majored in voice at LaGuardia Performing Arts HS in NYC . I majored in Opera at SUNY Purchase.

Interested in studying voice in the Philadelphia area? Hit me up! I have years of experience with all sorts of different pedagogical approaches and am very adaptable to every individual student's needs.

I also have a small music library, and am always looking to further my repertoire knowledge.

Ms. Trovato is a much sought-after soprano based in New York whose Studio Bel Trovato has thrived for the past 7 years! She is the winner of national and international opera competitions, and has performed around the US as well as in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and Albania in operas, recitals and oratorios. She has also given masterclasses, most notably through Opera Colorado, and has a soprano student recently accepted into Manhattan School of Music at only 16 years old.

"I am very proud to pass along the rock-solid technique taught to me by master teacher Carol Kirkpatrick. It is the most secure, healthiest way to sing that offers the singer the utmost range of expression. I opened a voice studio which I keep small and extremely personalized because I think it is extremely important to pass along this technique to singers of all ages. I hope you will contact me to discuss working together further!"

I have been a singer for over 25 years and have performed in musical theatre, church choir, and within the community.
