Reviews from Facebook & Google:
***** "Someone standing outside of Rachel’s studio and listening to a voice lesson would hear not only singing but also laughter, lots of it! Rachel brings her effervescence to each lesson, encouraging me with a mix of humor and seriousness that always puts me at ease. Rachel structures my lessons around the goals I established on the first day. She never criticizes my voice but keeps the focus on mastering the songs I want to sing. Her warm-ups and activities are rooted in proper technique, but she never obsesses on technique, rather focusing on how to sing a particular song. She has interest in and experience with an amazing variety of genres and has helped me learn to sing songs by the Beatles as well as George Jones." - Alan N.
***** "Rachel Cobb is an amazing teacher! I've learned so much from her! She really personalizes your lessons & takes the time to get to know you as an individual. She helps you practice the music that best fits your voice and stays true to what you would want to do as an artist! She's so nice & makes it feel like you're just sharing your passion for music with an old friend! She's very knowledgeable and gives great advice! She also records your sessions so it makes it convenient to go back and listen when you practice at home. I definitely recommend her!" - Rachel B
***** "If I could give Rachel ten stars, that wouldn't be adequate for the concern and energy she's poured into my daughter, Jess(in video below) for the past three or so years. At first I wasn't sure that driving almost 40 minutes every week for voice lessons would be worth it, but I would drive longer than that now for what Rachel has given her--yes, vocal training that has been amazing, but also dreams for a future in music and confidence in her abilities to achieve what she dreams of. Rachel is always understanding, available to listen to my concerns, ready to coach or offer encouragement for an audition, and has never once had a "bad day" teaching; voice lessons are always a highlight of the week. My daughter is heading to college on a full vocal scholarship, and it's because of Rachel. I can't thank her enough." - April D.
***** "Rachel is an amazingly talented singer and Vocal Instructor. My daughter Ally (who is almost 14 years old) has been a student of Rachel's for over 3 years. Rachel teaches professional techniques in a way that my daughter is really able to understand and put into practice. Ally loves her vocal lessons and absolutely adores Rachel. Rachel is very gifted at connecting with students of all ages and abilities. Ally feels extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Rachel!!" - Laurie D.
***** "My husband Charlie and I are having a lot of fun while learning to sing together. Rachel has taught us so much in a short amount of time and we are enjoying every minute of it!" - Leslie A.
***** "Rachel is proving to be a very knowledgeable voice instructor. While her background is in Opera, Rachel is versatile in her approach, regardless of vocal skill level or style of music. Rachel is also diligent in researching solutions for students with special needs, such as those who have sustained vocal injury. And, she will listen to your concerns and adapt the instruction accordingly. And the last thing you should know about Rachel is that she is very personable and makes each session enjoyable." - Christine M
"I’ve always felt excited when I see someone full of energy and life singing their heart out on stage, but I never ever would sing in public or even around family or those close to me. My lessons with Rachel helped me transcend a lifelong fear. She made me feel comfortable and accepted even as an adult beginner. She is super skilled in voice, can quickly diagnose problems, and easily explanations how to overcome trouble areas. I really loved spending time with Rachel and grew to trust her. She is very good at giving necessary feedback in ways that lift you up, that excites you to try again. After a few months, I challenged myself at a New Orleans karaoke bar and had a real rockstar moment as the crowd actually went Wild. Real Magic!" - Alia L.
