I'm Rana! I’m a professional singer in LA. I teach multiple genres: from Classical Music and Opera, to Pop, Musical Theatre, R&B and Rock.
I started playing flute and piano as a kid. I got my degree in Instrumental Music from Rahil Conservatory in Tehran, where I played as a professional flutist in multiple orchestras. Meanwhile I began my study of singing and performing in choirs. I studied voice at Pasadena City College and later received my masters degree in Vocal Performances from California State University, Northridge. I am also a certified CCM teacher from Shenandoah Conservatory.
As a singer, I have sung with Long Beach Opera, Chicago Opera Theatre, Pacific Opera Project and Capitol Opera among others. Some of these roles have received positive reviews from prestigious publications such as Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times. In concert I have sung with University of Southern California's Early Music department, Pacific American Master Chorale and Pasadena First United Methodist Church. Currently I am the lead singer in my band where we sing and play rock/hard rock in Los Angeles area.
As a vocal coach I have been teaching for the past 8 years; I have the experience of teaching kids and adults, with a wide range of musical backgrounds. Studying both instrumental and vocal music, prepared me for teaching different concepts, as well as performance (both singing and acting). I try to solidify theory skills and musicianship in a fun and comfortable environment that will serve students in all their musical endeavors.
Here is a summary of the topics that I cover during my lessons:
-Proper breathing and exercises
-Singing in tune, rhythm
-Concept of chest, head voice and mix voice
-Mastering your high range, falsetto, belt
-Singing riffs, and runs, harmonizing and improvisation
-Stage presence, building confidence against stage freight
- Preparing students for auditions and competitions
Let’s meet and make music together!

Ear Training

Ear Training

It is important for a singer to be efficient in their ear training skills as it will help them with tuning the pitch and their singing techniques. That is why I worked a lot during my undergrad and graduate schools, while learning different methods of solfege ( both fixed and movable Do systems) that helped me improve my ear training capabilities immensely.

Rana is skilled and empowering!

Transformative Vocal Instructor

We brought on Rana to help our daughter, Jasmine gain a bit more comprehension around developing her overall vocal technique and musicality. What we did not expect was a significant surge in her confidence as both a performer and young woman. Fueled by a newfound focused understanding around methods, breathing technique and musicality, we’ve seen our child’s love for music grow substantially along with her abilities in a relatively short period of time with Rana. We cannot begin to say enough about the change we’ve seen in our daughter and the significant increase in ability we’ve observed in her voice. Rana is a treasure! -The Gouhari Family

Knowledgeable and encouraging!

I am currently preparing for a solo and Rana has been so encouraging and knowledgeable that I feel ready for the event. I’ve had several sessions with Rana, and she has been very friendly and understanding as well.

Great voice coach!

Rana works with your voice and helps with breathing techniques for your specific needs. Highly recommended if you are in need of a voice coach. She is very patient and kind, very funny and uplifting.

Sarah, 1 lesson with Rana

So Supportive!

I came to Rana with such low confidence in my voice and singing abilities. Not only has she encouraged me to sing out and be who I really am, but she has also really worked with me on my posture and breath control. I couldn't have received a better coach. I am extremely excited to see the progress that I make in the future!

Best teacher I can imgaine.

Rana is great teacher. I think she is probably able to connect to each individual in a personal but professional manner. She is patient, clearly extremely knowledable and fun to learn with and I was able to let go of feeling inhibited. I feel very lucky to have found her.

Caring Teacher

Rana genuinely wants her students to succeed. She will work with both you and your specific voice needs. She is friendly and knowledgeable. She helps you understand how to use your voice in a more healthy way and will explain concepts you may be unfamiliar with. She is patient and understanding, which are qualities that I find important, especially since it can feel vulnerable having to try new ways of singing. It’s been a fun and stress free experience singing with her and I always feel encouraged. I highly recommend Rana!
