Ms. Forte (Rachelle) is a full-time vocal coach, teaching individuals, worship teams, musical theatre casts and more not only to discover their voice but also to develop it holistically and healthily.
As a young child, the love for the stage blossomed in her heart, and it’s this love that fuels Rachelle’s desire to show everyone that they too have a voice to be discovered. In college, Rachelle earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Church Music with an emphasis on Vocal Performance and Pedagogy, as well as an Associate of Arts degree in Music. Unfortunately, a vocal injury prevented her from completing a final recital which would have earned her a second Bachelor’s in Vocal Performance. To this day her experience with vocal injury influences her passion for vocal health, which is something she teaches as a part of a holistic vocal coaching philosophy.
Rachelle has a well-rounded background in both performance and direction in the realms of theatre and worship arts. Having held the role herself, she knows what casting directors are looking for when auditioning vocalists, and coaches her students accordingly. She also served as the Vocal Coordinator at Dream City Church, working with worship team vocalists, ensembles, and choirs.
Rachelle’s mission is to help people find their forte in music and in life: guiding you to develop your BEST voice, grow your confidence, and achieve your performance goals.
Rachelle is not only a full-time voice and piano teacher but she also continues to direct, consult and perform.
