Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Berklee College of Music
Rachel Hoffman grew up in a musical family. She began studying music formally at the age of five and has honed her skills through many years of voice lessons, piano lessons, choirs, ensembles, solo performances, vocal competitions, and by studying at the prestigious Berklee College of Music where she received her Bachelor of Music degree with honors. As a Professional Music major, she specialized in Songwriting, Vocal Performance and Private Studio Instruction.

Rachel moved to Nashville, TN in 1998 to work for Warner-Chappell Music Publishing. Since that time, she has taught private lessons, performed in and around town, taught songwriting, music theory and performance techniques in high schools and homeschool cooperatives and runs her award-winning, research-based early childhood music business. She believes that music benefits everyone and strives to keep lessons and classes accessible to all whether they are 100 minutes or 100 years old.

Music is just one language that Rachel loves. She has also studied English, Chinese, and Spanish. She completed the TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) program in 2019 and has taught English to more than 500 young English learners since! When she is not teaching, you might find her baking, engaged in a DIY project, or playing with her dog, Lewis.
