"I took a handful of lessons with Rachael to brush up on some vocal technique, and I cannot recommend her enough. Her knowledge and ear as a musician, as well her compassion and patience as a human, are unmatched. The fact that I was able to get so much out of just a few lessons (over Zoom, no less!) speaks to the mastery and expertise of her craft. Whether you are a beginner learning new skills, or an experienced
musician looking to refine your abilities, Rachael is amazing at meeting you where you're at and bringing you to the next level " - Katelyn, 25 (Voice Student) |

"Rachael is a very kind and heartwarming person to work with, never negative even when critiquing, it's all constructive. She knows exactly how to push my voice to go to its furthest potential while understanding limits and just working on building on what you have to make it the best it can be" - Alyssa , 20 (Voice Student)

"I was very fortunate to work with Rachael Delano in coaching our vocalists for our High School Musical Production at Lockview High School. We were very pleased with Rachael's organization, preparedness, work ethic and her positive approach with the students. She worked with all of our soloists and full chorus and really did a fantastic job. She is a confident and competent musician and was very easy to work with. She has a wealth of experience and knowledge and we were so fortunate to have her work with our students over the past three months. I would definitely hire Rachael to work with our students again and highly recommend her as a vocal coach"
- Dina Burtt ( Music Director, Lockview High)
