    About Rachel R.

    Learning music is fun and exciting, so we will focus on learning technical musical skills and immediately combine it with learning to play or sing your favorite music at the same time. I have 5 years experience in teaching piano and excel in music sight reading and have strong ability and experience in teaching this skill to pianists, keyboardists, organist and vocalists. I am a classically trained pianist with 12 years private lessons and 2 years college-level study. In addition, I have studied voice for 2 years at the college level along with one year of study on organ. I have been a church musician for over 30 years and began playing piano at age 6 and for churches at age 14.
