Preparing for an important audition requires the right support.
When I was a kid auditioning for musical theatre programs, my parents were public school teachers who didn’t know exactly how to help me. I was this quiet kid with a big singing voice and they were confused. As a music educator and professional performer, I am enthusiastic about giving families the support you need to meet your goals in youth education.
Whether your child needs four weeks of focused preparation or wants to build their singing skills over the school year, we'll develop a plan that supports healthy technique, confidence, and musical growth.
“Rachel has been teaching my daughter for almost 3 years and her voice has grown and improved so much in that time. My daughter is a bit shy but always feels comfortable and confident in her lessons. I would highly recommend Rachel!”
