Lesson Details
Bass Guitar
- Levels Taught:
- Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
I have taught bass for 10 years and believe students should get to play what they want to play! Students are asked to come up with a list of songs and/or artists they would love to play. Through teaching chords, note reading and theory, the song possibilities are endless! I also can help the aspiring singer/bass player to be able to both play and sing simultaneously.

Write a ReviewCharming 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.
Show MoreRachel 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.
Show MoreI 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.
Show MoreShe 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.

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.
Show MoreRachel 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.
