Rachel's amazing. She is definitely teaching an old dog new tricks.

Best instructor ever. Very patient. Knows how to handle an old guy like me. My playing doesn't really deserve someone as good, but I'm thankful to have her.

We love Rachel!!! She is patient and kind. She carefully explains what my daughter can do to improve her technique and tone. She is intentional in her instruction, making sure the basics are solid. She is an excellent bass instructor. Thanks Rachel!

My daughter was excited about the bass again after her lesson with Rachel. She is ready to step up her game and Rachel guided her patiently with thoughtful (not judgmental) encouragement. Looking forward to the next lesson 😊

She very detail and patience wit my first year, 11 year old kid. She knows when to push and when to ease up. My kid is gaining confidence in her playing.

Enjoyed first lesson. Looking forward to more!

Super great teacher!

Rachel was very patient at my first lesson which really relaxed me as I am a beginner beginner. She didn't skimp over the basics and was gracious with praise.

Charming and knowledgeable. Makes it easy for the student to understand.

Rachel is knowledgeable and so easy going. Really enjoying lessons.

She's very knowledgeable and patient. It's been many years since I've played but I feel completely comfortable and confident with her guidance.

Rachel was my first ever guitar teacher. But after about a year and a half with her I just got way to busy. To anyone that is looking for a teacher for any instrument I would defiantly recommend Rachel. She is such an amazing artist and just an amazing person.

Rachel is amazing! I’ve been playing violin my whole life and have still learned a ton just from the first few lessons. Also love that it’s online so I can take lessons without driving anywhere, very convenient.

Rachel is patient and listened to me... I think it is a good match...

Patient and positive!

I've only had one lesson so far, but Rachel did a great job. She is knowledgeable and very talented. I'm excited to continue on my rockin' acoustic guitar journey. I highly recommend her as she was super nice and very kind to come get me at the bottom of the hill, so I can find her studio in the future. I'm a newbie at guitar and don't know very much but she encouraged me & I can't wait to get further into it.

I like Rachel's approach to learning and her attitude. Relaxed and upbeat. Always has the next thing for me to add to my practice and suggestions for improving areas im struggling with.

She is great with young kids, and I enjoyed that she let my daughter apply what she learned and be creative during the lesson.

Rachel is amazing!!!! my daughter loves working with her.

Great lesson with Rachel.

Rachel is very professional as a music instructor. There's no doubt about her wealth of knowledge and experience. She is also very patient and explain things clearly, and she offers effective methods to improve my guitar technique. I've been learning guitar with Rachel for about one and a half month, and I've been steadily making progress. Besides, Rachel is a wonderful person to work with. Her passion and positive energy make learning a joyful experience. I trust her, and I feel lucky to have her as a teacher.

She was great. I May have to improve my computer bandwidth but we had a great time and she was very patient.

Lesson 1 was everything we expected. Looking forward to Lesson #2!

Rachel was calm and lovely and patient with my five year old showing her the violin and how it works. I think we're going to have a great experience working with her!

Rachael is excellent at recognizing my learning style and customizing her teaching method to best communicate key concepts to me.

Fantastic lesson, will co ntinue.

Excellent start, Rachel was very patient and helpful with my daughter's first lesson. Looking forward to her next lesson.

she made me feel very relaxed. I learn quite a bit even with the 1st lesson. Looking forward to the rest of the lessons.

Great instructor

Rachel is great!!!

Excellent job! My daughter can't wait for the next lesson!

Rachel is a wonderful, knowledgeable instructor! Super nice and truly cares about your goals and was very encouraging. She catered the lesson very well, over Skype, and it was great! Hope to continue lessons soon..

Rachel is a great teacher. She makes everything easy to understand. I've learned so much already.

Just had my first lesson with Rachel. She is very patient and has been very helpful! I would definitely recommend her!

Just had my first lesson with Rachel and really enjoyed it. She is a very good teacher and I look forward to many more lessons with her.

She seems patients and she is friendly ,I just had my first lesson, everything was perfect .

She is great with young players. She is also very friendly and know how to motivate the kids to do their best. We are happy to have found her :)

Rachel is a very patient and caring teacher that is knowledgeable about many stringed instruments, violin among them. I highly recommend her.

She is very patient, very laid back, and so nice. Can't wait for more lessons

She is awesome

Our daughter finds it easy and comfortable working with Rachel. She's very patient and detailed in her directions. She communicates well with us (the parents) which is helpful with feedback.

Our first lesson went very well. Rachel was very kind, patient, and complimentary. I look forward to my next lesson.
I took cello lessons from Rachel for several years. Although I had played piano as a child, I had not attempted to play a musical instrument for over forty years. Rachel was able to explain the instrument to me, and was very patient and encouraging. Her musical knowledge is extensive and she truly enjoys teaching. I highly recommend her as a teacher of any stringed instrument.

Rachel is very knowledgeable in music theory and she's able to explain it in a way that's easy to understand. She's a very talented player and an encouraging teacher.

Rachel is an excellent teacher. I started with her when I was 57 years old and have taken lessons for over 5 1/2 years. This is the first instrument I have ever played. Rachel is extremely patient and very attentive to details. She is extremely knowledgeable academically and has a lifetime of performance experience. Any student young or old would be proud to have her as their teacher.
