    About Rachel K.

    Hello students! I attended California State University, San Marcos as a double-major in Visual and Performing Arts - Music, and Literature and Writing Studies. I also completed the Applied Music and Performance Studies Program in Voice at Palomar College and was the Soprano Section Leader and Soloist at the First United Methodist Church of Escondido before moving to Pollock Pines, CA in 2016. As a classical/jazz/Christian singer, I love to assist aspiring singers with sight-reading, music theory, breathing, posture, tension-release, vowel placement, stage presence, performing, overcoming stagefright, and all other aspects of singing. I have been singing and performing solo and in choirs for over 20 years and have 9 years of classical training, studying with Dr. David Chase, Mary Jaeb, Karen Bryan, and Ruth Lopez-Yanez Weber. I have also taken four years of classical piano lessons using the Suzuki method and can pass along my knowledge of piano to beginning piano students as well. I’m a proven master of the English language. I have been tutoring English for 12 years, from 4th grade to the college level. I specialize in helping students write and edit cohesive, grammatically-correct essays, but, I am versed in all aspects of English and can offer help in whatever area needed. Finally, I am a full-time, licensed professional photographer! I offer lessons in digital photography (shutter speed, ISO, aperture, composition, etc) as well as digital image enhancement/editing with Adobe Lightroom. I have taken photography classes at CSUSM and I shoot a wedding just about every weekend, as well as frequent portrait sessions. I look forward to working with you and sharing my expertise in Music, English and/or Photography!
