Rachel has almost 20 years of teaching experience for piano, voice, music theory and songwriting and currently offers lessons in her beautiful, bright and airy home music studio located in Columbia Heights neighborhood of NW Washington, DC!

In addition to her extensive career of recording and performing, Rachel is proud to have taught as a Wolftrap Resident Teaching Artist, licensed Music Together instructor, and former dance instructor at the non-profit Sitar Arts Center, and Levine School of Music's summer program.

As a teaching artist, Rachel seeks to share her passion for music and dance with her students, and strives to impart a respect and reverence of tradition and an appreciation of both a contemporary and classical aesthetic. Her work in both the disciplines reinforce each other through her energetic teaching style, emphasizing sensitive listening, a deep feeling and understanding of music and how movement connects to that music.

Piano

Piano

Studied intensively since 6 years old. Grad of Duke Ellington H.S. & Berklee College of Music. Org. 2 recitals for students annually. Ages 5 years & up. Classical & Contemporary styles. Work on technique and theory, while choosing songs/pieces that tailor to student's tastes.
Sight Singing

Sight Singing

Learning to read music and sight singing go hand in hand for both vocalists AND pianists! It expedites the learning process to read music on a MUCH deeper level. Solfege is also HUGELY helpful for singers working on pitch problems. Moreover for improvisation, understanding diatonic/chromatic solfege, the harmonic considerations of chord scales, singing the solfege of the chords and advised non-chord tones, THIS all is what makes a real musician, vocal or instrumental.
Songwriting

Songwriting

I co-wrote 5 Billboard charting singles in the Dance music genre and continue to write and record in the Jazz/Adult Contemporary genres. I've worked with students on how to put create melodies for their lyrics, how to harmonize their songs, and especially on song form, how to create interesting, exciting arrangments, and preparing to record in the studio.
