"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 , 15 (Voice Student)
LESSONS
Rachael offers contemporary voice lessons at her private studio in central Halifax. Specializing in contemporary styles, she provides support to singers developing their skills, as well as advanced coaching for experienced musicians. Rachael focuses on providing instruction for adults, young-adults, and teens.
UPDATE (COVID-19) * All lessons are now conducted online through Zoom and Rachael's student portal website.
Rachael offers 50 minute long voice lessons.
Students are asked to pay by term (3 terms per year) however, Rachael usually has the capacity for a sliding scale payment option.
Additionally, Rachael has a subsidy program available where she offers lessons at a PWYC rate for folks who music lessons are inaccessible to. This subsidy is supported in combination by Rachael's term students and in-kind services donated by Rachael. Rachael's term students have the option to contribute an additional $2o on top of their term fee to cover one subsidized lesson, Rachael then donates the rest of the lesson time to match the $55 lesson fee. If you are in a position to fund an extra $20 per term, it would be much appreciated by Rachael's prospective students and the community at large!

"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)
