I work with visual and sound artists, teens in musical theatre, and folks needing help with vocal recovery.
Do you struggle to hit high notes or experience discomfort after singing? Do you want to add more strength to your voice? Are you already performing and want to work on a specific skill?
- Expand your range
- Gain better projection and solid pitching
- Recover from voice injuries
- Connect emotionally with your voice
- Build your unique sound
- Hone skills like improvising, sight singing, or creating an engaging performance.
- Unlike most singing teachers, I'm trained and solely teach singing and voice recovery. Internationally. For universities, community groups, dance companies and individuals.

I just finished a run of Mamma Mia! where I played Tanya 8 shows a week... Rachel was the solution I needed to overcome debilitating stage fright, and her intuitive teaching truly changed the course of my life. The technique Rachel taught was absolutely essential for getting through 2 hours of song & dance numbers. I was also cast last week for a musical revue regional tour... Behind the scenes of these shiny performances are almost daily auditions, voice lessons, training, and grueling rehearsals... all that requires stamina through technique and confidence. And that really did all start with Rachel." -- Shann O., NM |
What happens in a singing lesson?
Coming into your first singing lesson or class is intimidating. I bring years of experience to make it as fun and easy for you as possible.
We start with warmups, practice different techniques, and then do songs, harmonies or improvisation. It's my job to teach and help you build habits through scientifically-based voice exercises, postural and movement explorations and emotionally-engaging song interpretation.

But do online singing lessons work?
I have been taking voice online from Rachel for many months. She has helped me work beyond what I thought my capability. I love working with her. It's one of the best things I've ever done for myself!" - Jen B., CA
I started teaching online at the request of my in-person students! I tested it for 6 months to make sure it works before marketing it. And it truly does! By using headphones and/or a headset with a mic, you can:
* access world-class singing lessons often only found with stressful travel to and around larger cities
* build a habit of practicing singing at home
* reduce the challenge of singing lessons by doing it in the surroundings of your choosing

I play 3-4 shows per week. I sing both acoustically as a one piece and other times with a larger 4 piece band. Our set list covers a range of artists and genres such as rock, pop, blues and traditional Irish. I started working with Rachel to improve my singing... [her] guidance and expert advice helped me improve my vocal health, develop my range and helped forge positive habits. I feel that my singing has improved significantly since I started working with Rachel." Darren M., Ireland |
