A message from Rachel...
"As a singer, my career was almost stopped before it began when I developed vocal nodules during training. Suddenly, I couldn't express myself as I was used to, I could hardly remember how to sing. With my dreams slipping out of reach, I went on a mission, digging deeper and deeper into the mysteries of how our instrument. By the time my vocal problems were solved, I had sought help from some the UK's best singing teachers and vocal coaches, including Penni Harvey-Piper and Mark Meylan. I explored everything recommended to me: from speech therapy, to larynx physiotherapy, to hypnotherapy, and nutrition, and that was just the beginning!
When I started coaching, I assumed that I would be focusing on musicality, conveying emotion through music and on finding that "special something," but, during early coaching sessions, I realised that you can't access that "something" if your instrument isn't working productively. Try as you might to give into musicality, or to pour your heart through the song, you can't do it if you have technical obstructions.
Your voice is the only instrument that you can't see or hold in your hand so many singers find the wonder that is, "the voice," an ambiguous and often confusing thing. My methods and techniques clarify and simplify your approach to strengthening your singing technique, understanding how your instrument works, and showing you which muscles to release and which to strengthen to allow the vocal system to work at it's most productive and free.
Together, we will move towards the goal of a complete and transformative musical experience for both singer and listener, when all comes together: the instrument and the soul and story behind in."
