    "Creative people are curious, flexible, persistent and independent with a tremendous spirit of adventure and a love of play." Henri Matisse I’m excited to share my ~21 years of music teaching and 4 years of programming and tech expertise with you. For music lessons: Flute is my main instrument and where my passion lies. I also play piano, guitar, and I sing. As a music educator, I’m certified to teach beginner to intermediate level of all band and orchestra instruments. I have performed with Arapahoe Philharmonic, Colorado Flute Choir, Vail Valley Music Festival, Aspen Music Festival, and I’ve even sung the National Anthem with the Evans Choir at a Broncos game! For programming or tech: Since changing careers in 2020 to Full Stack Software Engineering, I have worked with Ruby, JavaScript, SQL, React, & more. View my LinkedIn profile for more. During lessons, I teach to your style and provide you with a patient, fun, and inspiring learning environment. I'm excited to work with you!

    Rachel has taught my daughter so much and is great with here. My daughter says that she has learned more with Rachel in her few lessons than she learned at the recreation center after 8 sessions. We are thrilled with her progress.
