"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 music lessons at her private studio in central Halifax. Specializing in contemporary styles, she provides support to young singers developing their skills, as well as advanced coaching for experienced musicians. Beyond vocal instruction, Rachael also teaches beginner guitar and piano, arrangement instruction, and performance anxiety support.
Students may have their lessons audio recorded for their practice, and several times a year students are given the opportunity to perform together. For students living outside of central Halifax, Rachael can often arrange to come to your home to deliver lessons, and also delivers lessons online through Zoom.
Prices for lessons vary depending on length from $40-$60 per session. 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 if enough term students sign up for lessons, they have the option to pay an extra $20 on top of their term fee to help cover a few lessons that Rachael can offer at a PWYC rate for folks who music lessons are inaccessible to. 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!

Lesson Registration
"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"
