Rachel's Music Garden, LLC

"I’ve been taking cello lessons with Rachel for almost a year. She is a brilliant teacher with tons of experience, musical and life, and packs so much valuable information into each lesson. She has a very unique approach and communicates about music in a way that anyone of any age could understand. As an adult beginner, I was initially intimidated by the idea of taking lessons, but Rachel has filled the entire process with patience, creativity, and FUN. Highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking to work on a new musical skill. 10/10 safe person to be yourself with while learning something new."

"I can't say enough good things about my experience with Rachel! She is so incredibly talented across multiple instruments and her cheerful and encouraging personality truly makes even the most daunting of lessons a breeze. Learning from her has been an absolute joy because it is so clear that she's passionate about nurturing her students' musical talents. Whether you're just starting out or have some experience, I wholeheartedly recommend her for a fantastic and fulfilling musical education!"

"My 6 year old daughter has been taking violin lessons from Rachel for over 6 months now. It has been a very exciting journey for her and we are delighted that she has picked up key concepts well in such a short duration. Rachel took time to understand my daughter's personality and worked her way up to develop a connection with her so the learning becomes joyful. Rachel is very dedicated towards her passion and profession - music. We are very happy that we found her. We recommend her to anyone looking for a good, cheerful, and dedicated music teacher."

"If you are considering taking lessons from Rachel, don't delay, and sign up today! I am an adult violin student, and I have been learning with Rachel for over a year. From the very first lesson, Rachel took the time to understand my goals and musical background. Rachel's teaching style is structured, yet flexible enough to adapt to my progress. She provides constructive feedback that is specific and actionable, so I can confidently practice on my own. She is an expert in analyzing my technique (over Zoom!) and giving me concrete exercises to practice in order to improve. She is always available to answer questions and has provided me with much support between lessons. In the past year, I have made significant progress under Rachel's guidance. Not only am I more self-confident in my instrument, but Rachel has also helped me to develop a love for the violin and a deeper appreciation for music. Her passion for music and her commitment to her students make her an exceptional teacher, and I am grateful for her dedication and expertise."

"My daughter has been learning violin from Rachel for a few months now, and loves her. We all do. Rachel is an amazing human and fantastic instructor. She meshes well with all my daughter's quirks. If you're a nerdy/hippy type who wants to learn some music (Or has a kid who wants to learn) she's a perfect fit. As a stay at home dad, it's nice to be able to take my daughter to lessons, and also hang out with a cool adult. Also, her Halloween decorations are amazing. It's my wife's favorite holiday, so I had to take pictures to show her. I think she may have been a bit bummed she didn't take our daughter to lessons that day. In summation: Rachel is awesome, and my whole family loves her."
