Join my journey on Substack!! I will lag post (irregularly) here, but I post there each Monday and Friday.
I am Rachel, the joyful singing teacher. I identify as a singer and singing teacher. I remember the day my partner turned to me and stated, "You don't like singing, do you?" It floored me, because that's exactly how I felt. I was fully invested in the careers of singing and teaching singing, in the midst of graduate study of singing, and I *didn’t* like singing…
At the time, I had no real understanding of why I felt this way--it was almost twenty years later that I understood where I had been and where I had come to. Today, joy is my first priority when approaching singing. I also attempt to consistently seek joy in my daily life.
These newsletters explore where I am now as a teacher and some parts of how I got here--I am a joyful singer and singing teacher. I prioritize finding joy in what I do, how I live, and how I teach. I seek to encourage my students to find what brings them joy when making vocal sound and I support them on their journey to their fullest singing self.
🎶Come join me on this journey of exploration. 🎶
