Rachel - Get to know your vocal coach
I am a singing tutor with an education in music theory from Peabody Preparatory and vocal technique from Towson Preparatory and Baltimore School for the Arts (Top 5 art schools in the USA). I have been studying music for 27 years, and am in the process of getting my bachelor's degree. --------------------------------------------------------------- I am well versed in operatic technique, musical theater, acting, sight singing, singing by ear, and various vocal exercises for diction and voice and breath control. I enjoy singing and teaching musical theater, jazz, pop, and rock music. Talk to me about learning perfect pitch. --------------------------------------------------------------- I have previously taught at various acting summer camps for ages seven to seventeen, and look forward to helping you and/or your child expand your vocal and musical knowledge. --------------------------------------------------------------- I prefer to teach over Zoom or Google Meets, and my schedule is open from 2AM EST to 1PM EST. I am also willing to explore other meeting times on a case by case basis. ---------------------------------------------------------------
